  Wasn't sure if we were to be concentrating on the sailing vessel or the huge cargo ship - looked at the link and saw it is the Dutch sailing ship.
  
  Looks good for being made in 1912 - very well restored.

  Nice picture Paul. I had something similar a while back featuring another sailing ship with a huge vessel backdrop.
  
  Just thinking...I might have seen this last night ..you did well getting a picture through the gloom.
  
  if I can find my earlier similar pic later I will add it.

  It's interesting to see the size difference, I suppose back in 1912 it was looked upon as a large sailing vessel, times change
  
  Good picture Paul.

  Here we are with similar pic but NOT the same ships of course...taken several months ago. As BarryW-S says there..we thought these sailing ships were large once upon a time. Now dwarfed by the mighty.
