I'm watching a video on RT and Putin cruises by a big,
old square-rigged sailing ship. I am a sucker for such ships, so I go digging around and find that the ship is the Poltava, a replica of a ship built by Peter the Great in 1712. The replica was launched in 2018.
If you are going to talk about old sailing ships, you really need a picture of the ship with all sails set, bowling along through the raging sea. I go looking. I find all kinds of pictures of the ship, but they are mostly just pictures of the ship sitting in the harbor with no sails showing at all. But I did find some others.

When I see pictures of ships like the Picton Castle, Coast Guard Cutter Eagle, or Danmark under full sail, I always marvel they don’t blow over.
