On my way home from a loooong bikeride I came across this man and his boat sailing away into the sunset...
the Star Of India under full sail off San Diego CA.The Star of India is the world's oldest seafairing ship. Built in 1863 at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man, it was an experimental design utilizing iron instead of wood. Launched as Euterpe, a full-rigged ship named after the Greek goddess of music, the ship's initial voyages involved some rough sailing. Her first trip included a collision and mutiny. She came face to face with a cyclone in the Bay of Bengal on her second journey. Her topmasts cut away, she barely made port. Following that, the first captain died on board and was buried at sea. .The waters finally quieted and it was smooth sailing during numerous uneventful voyages and several "change of owner" transactions. She served as a cargo ship to India, a passenger vessel hauling emigrants to New Zealand and a commercial salmon fishing and packing facility. Her name was changed to Star of India in 1906 and after 60 years of solid performance in 1923, she was towed to the San Diego bay. Saved from the ax or torch by concerned historians, she sat in port for over 50 years until funding helped renovate the tired old lady which was once a star. In 1976, the fully restored Star of India put to sea for the first time in fifty years, under the .command of Captain Carl Bowman. She sailed beautifully that day, to the applause of half a million fans, ashore and afloat. Since then, the Star of India has sailed on numerous special occasions..
Some boats out enjoying the Key West sunset. The old schooner is a tour boat. The cat is a modern private cruiser, a bit less elegant that the older vessel.

Zij is een Russische stalen viermastbark, genoemd naar de Russische ontdekkingsreiziger Adam Johann von Krusenstern. Het is na de Sedov het grootste traditionele zeilschip ter wereld dat nog vaart. De thuishaven is Kaliningrad.
Het schip liep op 11 juni 1926 als Padua van stapel op de Tecklenborgwerf in Wesermünde (Bremerhaven). Het was het laatste zeilende vrachtschip dat werd gebouwd en maakte met de Pamir, de Passat, de Preußen, de Pommern en de Peking deel uit van de zogenaamde Flying-P-Line van rederij F. Laeisz uit Hamburg. Het is hiervan het enige schip dat nu vaart. Sinds 1966 is het eigendom van het Russische ministerie voor visserij, dat het gebruikt als opleidingsschip. In 1995-1996 maakte het schip een tocht rond de wereld, in het spoor van haar naamgever. De Krusenstern doet regelmatig mee aan internationale zeilevenementen zoals Sail Amsterdam. Omdat het onderhoud erg duur is, worden ook betalende passagiers meegenomen.
