Great pictures! I would give anything to sail the Surprise, I'm from Victoria BC, we've got a square topsail schooner up here and a gaff rigger run by a sail training company, and I'm trying to take the necesary courses to get on with them but, a square rigger would be a dream come true, it's too bad theres no more sailing frigates from the napoleonic era that still actively sail (except for suprise of course). The Brits should have Trincomalee surveyed and made sail ready, she's a beauty too!
This song is pretty much captures the lifestyle of all sailing folk, but Newfoundlanders in particular. Thanks for the upload!
