Some of these ships are in Rio De Janeiro today. Good pictures.

Amazing Pics - My House overlooks The beach and my binoculars did a fair job - but these pics are impressive - It's nice to put a name to the "Sedov" boat which we could see approaching the area (but never docked at falmouth).

Even more impressive to reliase that this is the largest sail ship in the world!
