Does anyone know if...

Now, weren't the white, red, and blue all navy flags at that time? It just depended which admiral you were operating under?

Dubrovnik is breath-taking! I think about the handful of windows I have struggled with and see that and my hands start to shake.:happy:

Those are really nice looking masts and yards too. Are they printed? Are the yards separate from the masts? I ask because to my eye it looks like the tops and t'gallants are not fully hoisted? My...

Hi Lily, welcome to the Anchorage from across the pond.

A great series of novels to get a feel for the genre is the Jack Aubrey/Stephen Maturin books by Patrick O'Brian. In my opinion, all...

We arrived yesterday in northern Florida. It was pea soup fog, so no pictures. Approaching Fernandina Beach in the midst of the fog we heard another boat respond to our fog horn. It was a tour boat!...
