Monday Mono the Dennis Sullivan
good Morning all, I hope you had a good weekend and lif eis treating you well
this post follows on from a recent post where I shared a few shots of the Ship Dennis Sullivan
This post I am sharing a few mono shots of it but first let me tall you about it
the S/V Denis Sullivan and is a replica three-masted, wooden, gaff rigged schooner originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was a flagship of both the state of Wisconsin and of the United Nations Environment Programme until she was sold to the World Ocean School and moved to Boston, Massachusetts in late 2022
As I have said before I am not a sailor at heart more of a landlubber and haven't been out on a boat for years but I do love seeing the ships in the harbor, private pleasure craft, commercial boats, but my favorite to see are old sailing ships like these
I often focus on the ropes which I think may be called the rigging on the ship

and of course on the lasts with all the rope sup and down to hoist the sails when needed

Looking up the masts, imagining what it must be like to climb up the mast when the ship is out to sea, depending on the conditions it must be such an amazing and unique experience

Never bene out on a tall sial ship so dont know anything about what all the ropes heading up the mast do, but they sure do catch my eye

Looking at these style of ships always leads my imagination to run wild thinking what it must have bene like back in the day when these were the norm for longer trips and the conditions the crew must have faced back then
