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.

You´re right about tallships, 2, 3, 4 masted ships used for war and for
trade.
But since we ran out of pictures of tallships an we all love the see all
kind of ships are posted here.
This was on the calendar so I scanned it. Its not a real tallship in the
sence I wrote above.

Thanks. And, these are truly great pictures.

Thanks and I agree.

OK, thanks for the quick tut on tall ships. I agree with you, a
calendar full of "tall ships" is better than none!

Thanks. And, these are truly great pictures.
