Capturing Our World, One Moment In Time

William. This is incredible. It reminds me of a show I saw outside of treasure island in Las Vegas where performers dove off the old ship and into a lagoon.

incredibly cool photo of the day! mystic is a relaxing place full of history!

I still can't image sailing the oceans on something so small.

Now THAT is a Sailing Ship!  Very nice... I could enjoy an adventure on a boat like that.

I love the old ships and how well they were built.  but I am amazed at the courage these people had to actually cross the oceans with them.

Very cool boat!  Just imagine that they used to build those things without the aid of modern tools and without computers to guide them.  They were built with hand tools and craftsmen who apprenticed for years to learn how to use them.

William  -  I love those old sailing vessels!  The photo is picture perfect!  I don't know though about it being a simpler time.  Life was pretty tough and unforgiving in those times.  Slower paced perhaps but not easy. 

William, You shot it just right and love the clarity and detail of old ships. I am glad that they can be recreated too.

William,

You sure captured a lovely shot of our past.  They don't build boats like this anymorre. and we are thankful that they keep restoaring those beauties. A

William-You always capture such wonderful pictures and this is no exception. Can you imagine sailing the high seas in this especially if the waters were rough?

William,

Thank for sharing the photo.  I love finding things that put in touch with the way things used to be done.  

William, Mystic is just made for photographers with your skills!  It's a beautiful place filled with plenty of opportunities to capture a piece of history.  And the local food is good too :)

What a fantastic photo, William! It looks like it needs to be framed and on the wall! You always manage to work real magic with your photos!!

William,

This is a great photograph. A few months ago I found an old photo of a similar ship like that I took in Williamsburg, VA several years ago. The quality of my photograph was outstanding, like yours. Back then, when I took the picture, I didn't have a digital camera and it was the only photo I had. I always thought I'd have it turned into a canvas photo and never got around to it. Recently my printer wasn't working and I bought a new one but I left the photograph under the lid while I was trying to the new printer to work. I returned the printer with my photo still in there but when I went back to get it, they said they shredded it. I was not happy!

Lesson learned - if you take a great photo and you plan to do something with it, do it! Don't wait because it may be too late.

Your trip to New England sounds like it was wonderful!

William, that sure is a mighty grand looking Ship, which you got to take a mighty photo shot of. Are folks able to go aboard her?

William - love this photo, and how can one not to? It is part the subject, and part the skill of photographer.

Both worked wonder

William, this is just beautiful.  One of my nephews worked on these old ships during the summers he was in college.  Now he has his own business moving these and other ships up and down the west coast for people.  Beautfful photo.

William I loved Mystic Seaport and through your pictures I plan on re-living some great memories....so bring some more posts:) Have a great 4th of July if we do not connect, Endre

Thanks, William, for sharing your photograph. It looks like the day was perfect.

I like the contrast of the clouds and blue sky with the masts with the sails furled up. Gread shot AS ALWAYS William....
