    Fascinating picture. Anyone know what the wind turbine was for - bilge pump, or below decks ventilation?
  • Terrific Lake said:
    great shot
  • Translated Poorly said:
    The wind turbine is most likely for a electric generator, atleast in some ships of the same age.
  • John Hughes said:
    Yes, electric generator I think it must be. I was recently reading how Nansen had one installed aboard Fram on his drift across the north polar ice-cap in the 1890s.
  • Copper Kettle said:
    Interesting. Maybe as oil becomes scarce there again will be ships propelled by sail, with wind and solar generators to power the automatic rigging systems, navigation, etc.

    I can see the Martello tower so that must be the Dargle River flowing out into Bray Harbrour, albeit very silted up.
