wanted - picture of 4-masted barque
 

Could someone post a URL where I could download a photo or
painting of a four-masted barque with all sails flying?

A volunteer at Oregon state parks, I give a talk at the
famous Peter Iredale shipwreck and would like to show the
audience what the ship looked like before it ran aground.

The print I make will have to be 11" x 14" so a good sized
image file is needed off the net. I've done web and group
searches and have found a file too small to look good at
this size.

Any help appreciated.

Go to Google, click on the images button, then type four masted barque,
I came up with lots of pictures, you can then save them, and print.

Get thee hence to alt.binaries.pictures.tall-ships and ask them.

There are a ton of tall ship picture takers there and I'm sure, in
fact I'll guarantee, that one of them will come up with a good picture
for you.

Good luck.

Here's a web site with pretty good general info and a few pics you might
like
http://sailing-ships.oktett.net/barque.html

I'm guessing that you're already seen this one
http://www.iredale.de/maritime/peter.htm

If you're interested in explaining what made that particular ship a
'4-masted bark' as opposed to a brigantine or schooner or any other
type, you might put together a poster with some smaller images of
different ship types, with some captions & labels for parts of the
rigging. There are a fair number of 4 masted barks (the Peking for
example) sailing these days so it shouldn't be too hard to find a good
pic of one.

I skippered one of these around South America a few years back. What a
great trip.
