Description

Wooden Ship Sailors Rope Knots.

This is just one photograph in my Fine Art America Boats and Ships gallery.

This artwork was sold as a 12.00 x 7.88 Luster Photo Paper to a buyer from Franklinville, NJ.
Note: This was the first image sold in 2015 at 1:22 AM CST.

These Photographs of the Nina and Pinta were taken while they were in dock at the Peoria Lake which is a section of the Illinois River.
Both of these wooden ships have been built using the same specifications and techniques from Christopher Columbus The Age of Discovery 1400s time period. The Nina is considered a typical trading vessel from this time period. The Nina logged at least 25,000 miles under Columbus command.

The creation, travels and history of these two ships since they have been re-created is a fascinating story that starts with maritime historians and ends with the volunteer crew members that sail these remarkable wooden ships. Please find time to explore the in depth stories of these ocean vessels.

Nina Specifications:
Length 65 feet; Beam 18 feet; Draft 7 feet; Sail Area 1,919 sq. feet and Displacement 80 tons.

Pinta Specifications:
Length 85 feet; Beam 24 feet; Draft 7 feet; Sail Area 4,000 sq. feet and Displacement 101 tons.
Designers: Morgan Sanger and Jonathan Nance.

From my eyes, through the view finder to the click of the shutter. I hope you enjoy these moments in time that have been captured.
