The Danish lighthouse tender
Gerda III. In 1943, this vessel was used to smuggle 300 Jews from Denmark to Sweden.
The sloop
Regina M. A particularly fine looking boat - but the smell of varnish was going to give me brain cancer if I hung around too long.
Another nice-looking boat, the oyster sloop
Nellie from 1891.
Inside the lobster shack. Exhibits where a docent was present were a lot more interesting than those that didn't. In this case, I wasn't even sure what I was photographing.
This boat is for Dowly.
The sail training ship
Joseph Conrad, built in Denmark in 1882 as the
Georg Stage. The first sailing ship I've ever seen upclose and went onboard. Cool, huh?
A jibboom
and a bowsprit. Just the way I like it!
The main deck crowded with sightseers. As usual, the ship is half the size you think it is when you're actually onboard it.
