March 20

Rachel

"I floated on a soft dirge-like main. The unharming sharks,
they glided by as if with padlocks on their mouths; the savage
seahawks sailed with sheathed beaks. On the second day, a sail drew
near, nearer, and picked me up at last. It was the devious-cruising
Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children,
only found another orphan."

The ending of Moby Dick by Herman Melville, 1851

Classic tale from which to quote for this image, and of course, with the shared name of vessel, so appropriate. Wonderful shot too, the vintage look is perfect. VV
