Sunday Selections -- rigging

Once again, I'm joining in on Sunday Selections over at Kims' place. You could play along too, if you want. Click over to Kims' blog and link up.

Alright, any moment now it's going to become apparent that I don't have even one nautical bone in my body.
So pardon my ignorance of what many of these objects are, and just enjoy their beauty.

















All this shippy eye-candy can be found in Albany, WA. This is a replica of the brig Amity, which was re-built using traditional methods and materials.

  1. Lovely photos. I took similar pics when I went on a cruise one afternoon. I had no idea what they were either :)

  3. lol I know that the first one is an anchor and the lovely wooden thing is a pulley block and the pointy thing at the front of the boat is the bow sprit.
    YAY I will finish showing off now lol. Hubby used to be a prof fisherman and I spent a lot of time on wooden boats before children made me nervous about large expanses of water.
    I love photos of boats and all the lovely ropey things :)

  8. I recognised the anchor right away, then some ropes and pulleys, lots more ropes, masts and spars,and that thing at the end is a flag....there's decking and the hull too.
    Really great photos Toni!
