The Tall Ships in Bergen, 1993 (XI), a photo from Hordaland, South

Photographer's Note

Another set of three tall ships views in Bergen in 1993.

In main post, the Russian Sedov (who was visible in the backgound of yesterday's main post), built in 1921.

In workshop 1, three generations of tall ships:
- the Ukrainian Tovarishch (see earlier during the same voyage), 1933,
- the Dutch Eendracht, 1989
- the German Alexander von Humboldt, bult as a light ship in 1902 but converted inoto a thrre masted bak in 1988.

In workshop 2, the Norvegian fullrigger Christian Radich, 1937 (it was the first time I had the opportunity to see the ship, who was still used as a merchant navy school ship at that time).

Bonsoir Emmanuel,
The sky provides a fine backdrop for the detail of the rigging. I also really like the three ships lined up; although to my untrained eye, I would have difficulty telling their age even though they are 100 years apart.
