Falls of Clyde

view map

Falls of Clyde is the last surviving iron-hulled, four-masted full-rigged ship, and the only remaining sail-driven oil tanker. Designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1989, she is now a museum ship in Honolulu, but has deteriorated to poor condition and is not open to the public. In September 2008, ownership was transferred to a new nonprofit organization which intends to restore her.

A fascinating and well composed photo of her in this sad state. She really needs to be dry docked and then restored. Thanks for posting this Simon. "V"

I like the POV and how the rope leads the eye to the ship. Too bad about her condition but glad to hear she'll be restored. V.
