    Wow. What a phenomenal photograph.
  • Lucy said:
    wonderful
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Often those young lads fell from the yards, either into the sea or onto the deck. They hoped for the latter as that way death would be more immediate. If they fell into the sea there was zero chance of rescue. The ship sailed on.
  • Terrific Lake said:
    best shot
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Imagine that ship pitching and yawing . . . . they'd experience being lifted and dropped dozens of feet: it would be hard to stay on! A very good account of what that life was like is written in autobiographical form by Eric Newby in "The Last Grain Race."
