While most cruise ships visiting these islands are products of our own time, there are at least two vintage sailing vessels, known as "tall ships," still carrying passengers from island to island in the Galapago. Here they anchor together off Santa Fe Island, under a dramatic overcast cloudscape. I made this image as I was returning to our ship (the tallest of the two) from a nature walk on the island. My intention was to make an image that speaks of the days when all of the ships visiting the Galapagos looked like these. A photograph made in the 19th century would look very similar to this one.
