Bouler, I am relatively ignorant of "tall ships" except that the
term seems to mean sailing ships with tall masts. My long-held
belief, though, is that the term was most often used for the
larger ships, both merchant ships such as clippers and men-of-
war, such as ships of the line. A schooner, or whatever the
correct name for this vessel, meets the strict definition but not
my view of the term. Since I am so ignorant, could you possibly
clarify how you use the term "tall ship" when choosing boats or
ships to photograph? e.g., do you include all basic categories of
boats and ships with sails no matter the design or do you limit
them as to minimun size, number of masts, amount of sails, or
something else?

Thanks. And, these are truly great pictures.
