Name That Ship

[stewey]

Any nautical types on here? Last evening, I posted a sort of a silly thread which included the picture of a sailing ship. It's quite a well known barque amongst sailing type people. Can anyone name it? Clue: Sir Arthur Guisness (the beer guy) once owned it. Just a little trivia...cheers.

You were thinking of one of the "tea" clipper ships?

Yes I was, stewey, like the Cutty Sark.

Right now I'm going to embark upon a perilous journey across the field to you know where. Cheers!
PS: I bought a 31.5" by 23.5" print, in pristine condition, of that ship for $5 in a local charity store.

Hey stewey, you can sing some sea shanty's on the way back !.

I am a sailing person. And very nautical. But also quite drunk on a Friday night so will refrain from answering, for fear I may make a tit of myslf xxx

Hi stewey!
Do you know the difference between a barque and a ship?

the wreck of the Hesperus ? Marie Celeste ?

Here you go, mateys. Hard a starboard, forget the larboard, and don't forget the mizzen sail. The wind she be a veering and soonly backing.. Batten down the hatches and send CDQ.
