The Magdalene Vinnen (II), launched in 1926, a four masted German steel barque of 3500 tonnes (empty) and 117metres, (the largest operating sailing ship), became the Commodore Johnsen in 1936, was a war reparation to Russia in 1945 and renamed Sedov in 1948. Still operating as a Russian sea cadet training ship. See more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedov

Beautifully sharp viewed original size. What a tragic story.

Mangrove Rat It's a great image isn't it? I particularly like the woman waving her hat with the water spurting out, lower right. Watch this space, there's more photographs from the same day still to come!
