THROUGH MY LENS - Brigantine Sailing Ship in Bangor Harbour

Today I am showing you a traditional brigantine sailing ship that is over 100 years old that I saw when I walked along our Bangor Pier the other day.  She is 132’ long, has a 8,000 sq ft sail area, has a steel hull, teak deck and can do approximately 8 knots.  I hope you can read the 2 shots of her history.  Enjoy.

  1. What a beautiful ship. I suspect the private charter doesn't come cheap, but what an amazing experience it would be.

  5. The ship is beautiful and still in use even more than 100 years old. It would be great to go on board to explore the ship.

  9. How I would love to charter such a ship ... but sadly, I get sea sick and wouldn't dare step foot on her. She is a beauty though ... have you ever been on a tall ship?

  10. It is gorgeous! Your first picture should be framed and displayed. I see the ship does sail, yet the ropes look brand new. Wonder if they are just for display. Your picture of them is really great! Rope art!
