Tall Ship Gazela Visit to Portsmouth, July 2005

Photographs of the Tall Ship "Gazela" on her visit to Portsmouth, NH, July 2005. Photographs were taken on three days with very different sky conditions: arrival very late one afternoon; on board one day with brilliant blue sky; and on board one day with milky overcast.

The "Gazela" is rigged as a barkentine with a square-rigged fore mast, a fore-and-aft rigged main mast, and a fore-and-aft rigged mizzen mast.

Before you look at the images, put yourself in the mood by reciting aloud at least the first stanza from John Masefield's "Sea-Fever"
      I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
      And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
      And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
      And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.

Photography by Jim Cerny using a Konica-Minolta Dimage A1 camera.
