  7. Sailing Back in Time: The Galeón Andalucía Visits Ireland

    The sun had set by the time I got into the city to photograph the Andalucía. Twenty minutes earlier, the sun was shining on it and made for a spectacular photo.

    I made a bracketed shot from further down the quay because there were bright lights on the front of the boat that would make a shot from that side difficult. I like this shot anyway, as it captures the old with the new. The buildings at the quayside are old, the ship is a replica of an old ship and other buildings nearby are new and modern.

    I did take some more photos. A rather drunk man asked me to take a photo of him with the ship, using his phone. A few minutes later, he asked me to photograph him in front of Penrose House here and then went off home.

    So, I discovered that the Galeón Andalucía is not just a static museum piece. It is the only replica of a 16th-17th century Spanish galleon in the world that actively sails today, having travelled over 80,000 miles and visited ports on four continents since its launch in 2009.

  12. I come from a long line of . My great grandfather was Captain Grant & this is one of the American he sailed, the Saint David. It was built in 1877 in Bath, Maine & carried cargoes of lumber & coal in the Pacific trade.

    Once when he was sailing from Australia with a load of coal there was a storm which almost drove the ship into the rocks, story below.

  17. Tonight’s supper reading, Mensun Bound’s “The Ship Beneath the Ice: The Discovery of Shackleton’s Endurance”. I was lucky to get a signed copy from my local bookshop. I rarely read print now due to neuro disease, but this one’s layout and structure is me friendly.
