Foggy and rainy day at Mystic Seaport, Mystic, Connecticut. The vessel is the Joseph Conrad [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Conrad_(ship)]. Slide taken in October 1980.
"One ship is very much like another, and the sea is always the same. In the immutability of their surroundings the foreign shores, the foreign faces, the changing immensity of life, glide past, veiled not by a sense of mystery but by a slightly disdainful ignorance; for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it be the sea itself, which is the mistress of his existence and as inscrutable as Destiny."
Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
Installation built by Living Architecture and designed by David Kohn Architects in collaboration with the artist Fiona Banner. It is modelled on the Roi des Belges, the steamer on which Joseph Conrad travelled up the River Congo in 1890; the experience providing the basis for Heart of Darkness . The installation was taken down in March 2018.
Now that the sailers have gathered the sail, they need to heave it on top of the spar and tie it down. While doing that, they are chanting an uncomplimentary ditty about soldiers who mess with sailer's wives while the sailers are at sea.
The ship was built in Copenhagen in 1882 and named the Georg Stage. It was used to train boys for the Danish merchant service. It was purchased in 1934, renamed the Joseph Conrad, and sailed under the British flag. Today it is still used as a training ship at Mystic Seaport.

As you may have noticed, the "Joseph Conrad" is a steel-hulled ship, but some parts are still made of wood. In this shot, you can see that forward deckhouse, masts, lifeboat davits, and bulwarks are constructed from steel, but the hatches, deck, skylight, pinrails, and roughtree trail are wood. Also note the sharp sheer of the main deck.

~Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
Karol Maciej Szymanowski, né à Tymoshivka (alors en Russie, aujourd'hui en Ukraine) le 6 octobre 1882 et mort à Lausanne (Suisse) le 28 mars 1937, est un compositeur et pianiste polonais.
Joseph Conrad (born Józef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski;3 December 1857 – 3 August 1924) was a Polish-born English novelist.
Joseph Conrad was born in Berdichev (Polish: Berdyczów), Kiev Governorate (now Berdychiv, Ukraine), into a highly patriotic, noble (yet slightly impoverished) Polish family that bore the Nałęcz coat-of-arms. His father, Apollo Korzeniowski, was a writer of politically themed plays and a translator of Alfred de Vigny and Victor Hugo from French and of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare from English. He encouraged his son Konrad to read widely in Polish and French.
In 1861 the elder Korzeniowski was arrested by Imperial Russian authorities in Warsaw, Poland, for helping organize what would become the January Uprising of 1863–64, and was exiled to Vologda, a city some 300 miles (480 km) north of Moscow.
His wife, Ewelina[6] Korzeniowska (née Bobrowska), and four-year-old son followed him into exile. Because of Ewelina's poor health, Apollo was allowed in 1865 to move to Chernigov, Chernigov Governorate, where within a few weeks Ewelina died of tuberculosis. Apollo died four years later in Kraków, leaving Conrad orphaned at the age of eleven. (Wikipedia)
The Joseph Conrad is located at the Mystic (CT) Seaport Museum. The museum is dedicated to restoring, preserving and displaying historic boats/ships, buildings and numerous other items related to whaling and other maritime businesses of the past. This particular ship has been and still is used for training purposes.

‘It was inconceivable. That was the distinctive quality of the part into which Stein and I had tumbled him unwittingly, with no other notion than to get him out of the way; out of his own way, be it understood. That was our main purpose, though, I own, I might have had another motive which had influenced me a little. I was about to go home for a time; and it may be I desired, more than I was aware of myself, to dispose of him – to dispose of him, you understand – before I left. I was going home, and he had come to me from there, with his miserable trouble and his shadowy claim, like a man panting under a burden in a mist. I cannot say I had ever seen him distinctly – not even to this day, after I had my last view of him; but it seemed to me that the less I understood the more I was bound to him in the name of that doubt which is the inseparable part of our knowledge. I did not know so much more about myself. And then, I repeat, I was going home – to that home distant enough for all hearthstones to be like on hearthstone, by which the humblest of us has the right to sit. We wander in our thousands over the face of the earth, the illustrious and the obscure, earning beyond the seas our fame, our money, or only a crust of bread; but it seems to me that for each of us going home must be like going to render an account. We return to face our superiors, our kindred, our friends – those whom we obey, and those whom we love; but even they who have neither, the most free, lonely, irresponsible and bereft of ties, – even those for whom home holds no dear face, no familiar voice,– even they have to meet the spirit that dwells within the land, under its sky, in its air, in its valleys, and on its rises, in its fields, in its waters and its trees – a mute friend, judge, and inspirer. Say what you like, to get its joy, to breathe its peace, to face its truth, one must return with a clear consciousness. All this may seem sheer sentimentalism; and indeed very few of us have the will or the capacity to look consciously under the surface of familiar emotions. There are the girls we love, the men we look up to, the tenderness, the friendships, the opportunities, the pleasures! But the fact remains that you must touch your reward with clean hands, lest it turn to dead leaves, to thorns, in your grasp. I think it is the lonely, without a fireside or an affection they may call their own, those who return not to a dwelling but to the land itself, to meet the disembodied, eternal, and unchangeable spirit – it is they who understand best its severity, its saving power, the grace of its secular right to our fidelity, to our obedience. Yes! Few of us understand, but we all feel lit though, and I say all without exception, because those who do not feel do not count. Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength; and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life. I don’t know how much Jim understood; but I know he felt, felt confusedly but powerfully, the demand of some such truth or some such illusion – I don’t care how you call it – there is so little difference, and the difference means so little. The thing is that in virtue of his feelings he mattered. He would never go home now. Not he. Never. Had he been capable of picturesque manifestations he would have shuddered at the thought and made you shudder, too. But he was not of that sort, thought he was expressive enough in his way. Before the idea of going home he would grow desperately stiff and immovable, with lowered chin and pouted lips, and with those candid blue eyes of his glowing darkly under a frown, as if before something unbearable, as if before something revolting. There was imagination in that hard skull of his, over which the thick clustering hair fitted like a cap. As to me, I have no imagination (I would be more certain about him to this day, if I had), and I do not mean to imply that I figured to myself the spirit of the land uprising above the white cliffs of Dover, to ask me what I – returning with no bones broken, so to speak – had done with my very young brother. I could not make such a mistake. I knew very well he was of those about whom there is no inquiry; I had seen better men go out, disappear, vanish utterly, without provoking a sound of curiosity or sorrow. The spirit of the land, as becomes the ruler of great enterprises, is careless of innumerable lives. Woe to the stragglers! We exist only in so far as we hang together. He had straggled in a way; he had not hung on; but he was aware of it with an intensity that made him touching, just as a man’s more intense life makes his death more touching than the death of a tree. I happened to be handy, and I happened to be touched. That’s all there is to it.’
"The great wall of vegetation, an exuberant and entangled mass of trunks, branches, leaves, boughs, festoons, motionless in the moonlight, was like a rioting invasion of soundless life, a rolling wave of plants, piled up, crested, ready to topple over the creek, to sweep every little man of us out of his little existence. And it moved not." Heart of Darkness Joseph Conrad

The Joseph Conrad at Mystic Seaport, CT, seen through the windows of the cordage workshop. The iron-hulled fully rigged sailing ship, originally launched as Georg Stage in 1882 and used to train sailors in Denmark. After sailing around the world as a private yacht in 1934 she served as a training ship in the United States, and is now moored at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. Australian sailor and author Alan Villiers saved Georg Stage in 1934 from the scrappers and renamed the ship in honor of famed sea author Joseph Conrad. Villiers planned a circumnavigation with a crew of mostly boys. Joseph Conrad sailed from Ipswich on 22 October 1934, crossed the Atlantic Ocean to New York City, then down to Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, and across the Indian Ocean and through the East Indies. After stops in Sydney, New Zealand, and Tahiti, Joseph Conrad rounded Cape Horn and returned to New York on 16 October 1936, having traveled a total of some 57,000 miles (92,000 km). Villiers was bankrupted as a result of the expedition (although he did get three books out of the episode - Cruise of the Conrad, Stormalong, and Joey Goes to Sea), and sold the ship in 1936 to Huntington Hartford, heir to the A&P supermarket fortune, who added an engine and used her as a yacht. In 1939 Hartford transferred the vessel to the Maritime Commission, who used her for training until 1945. After being laid up for two years, the ship was transferred to Mystic Seaport. In addition to her role as a museum, she is also a static training vessel and is employed by Mystic Seaport to house campers attending the Joseph Conrad Sailing Camp. The ship is fully rigged, just on a smaller scale than comparable ships, and this way very handy as a teaching vessel.

The Joseph Conrad with all her spars rigged square and in line with each other, and her canvas rolled tight and tied off -- all ship-shap and Bristol fashion.
The ship was built in Copenhagen in 1882 and named the Georg Stage. It was used to train boys for the Danish merchant service. It was purchased in 1934, renamed the Joseph Conrad, and sailed under the British flag. Today it is still used as a training ship at Mystic Seaport.
