1962 Cling Dartmouth Mast Rigging Sail Sailors Sails Sorlandet Tall Whilst Yards Furling
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense action and skill as sailors cling on to the mast and yards of the Sorlandet while up furling the sails during the Tall Ships Race at Dartmouth. The century-old ship, with its towering mast and intricate rigging, is a stunning sight against the backdrop of the 20th-century historical event in 1962.
The image transports us back in time to an era when sailboats ruled the seas, showcasing both the beauty and danger of sailing. The men on board are shown working together seamlessly, their faces determined as they navigate through challenging conditions to secure the sails.
The detail captured in this photograph is truly remarkable - from the billowing sails to every line of rigging meticulously arranged. It serves as a reminder of not only maritime history but also human ingenuity and perseverance.
As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel the wind in our hair and hear the creaking of wooden planks beneath our feet. It's a snapshot frozen in time that evokes a sense of adventure and excitement that only sailing on a tall ship can bring.
