So amazing to view this vessel David, been writing a new children's historical story about a Stowaway Boy who sailed to The Bay of Bengal in an old Dutch Fluyt ship The Zeehaen 1727 .....haven't started drawing it yet but your vessel does inspire and those sails too! Just what I needed to view this week! Great work indeed!
