Any nautical types on here? Last evening, I posted a sort of a silly thread which included the picture of a sailing ship. It's quite a well known barque amongst sailing type people. Can anyone name it? Clue: Sir Arthur Guisness (the beer guy) once owned it. Just a little trivia...cheers.

Ahoy, emmie; yes, I think my clue was too "big'. It has an interesting history, doesn't it?
indeed.

No, Tony, it's a barque, and still in service.
So it is stewey, I should read a bit more carefully.
she is still fabulous.. i love sailing ships, they had some of the tall ships down on the Thames, for the Queens Diamond jubilee, they were beautiful, and majestic.

You were thinking of one of the "tea" clipper ships?
i could post the link, but as said someone may know it.
The Belem?
Looking at the picture enlarged, I could just make out Balam 1806

Interesting, emmie. Pretty expensive though. Spoonboy; good eyes. Actually it's 1896, the year it was built.
i did say they were tall ships, but the whole flotilla was some 1,000 boats, some sight i can tell you
OMG stewey, I hope not, I get seasick! Can I take a tenner instead?
