The 48-ft Native Girl schooner was built on Nelson Island, B.C., by Allan and Sharie Farrell. She was launched in 1965 rigged as a ketch, but was later converted by Allan to a staysail schooner with a foremast yard to set a square sail for trade wind sailing. She is built in much the same way as the rest of the west coast fishing fleet, she is stout and reliable. However she is very beautifully detailed for passenger sailing. The Farrells sailed her to both Hawaii and Mexico, and she has been as far north as Bella Coola, but has spent most of her time in the Strait of Georgia. She was originally registered as fishing vessel; she has been used as a research vessel to study killer whales in Johnstone Strait, and she has been a home for many people over the years.
The 36 ft. Sea Rogue is a striking small schooner with her reddish sails and black and white hull. www.heritech.com/seawitch/searogue.htm
Sea Rogue was Built in 1960, at American Marine, Hong Kong. Her current owner is Paul Moseley, Port Ludlow Washington Sea Rogue, with her black hull with white trim, stands out roguishly as a member of the Sea Witch class of sailboats. www.heritech.com/seawitch/seawitch.htm
The buildings are by the Point Wilson Lighthouse located in Fort Worden State Park near Port Townsend,

Pleiades is a pinky schooner with a high pointed stern. You can see a slot in the stern to wash out fish waste when they were used for fishing in the 1800's. This 55 ft pinky with its red sails was enjoying a speedy ride with a brisk wind,

The first dawn is in the San Juan Islands of western Washington. The tanbark ketch is a member of the Sea Witch class of sailboats. Some feel that this class of boat has never been equaled, much less surpassed, for romantic appearance and living space and comfort in a small cruising design.
Seawitch - power over the brine.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support of my photography particularly my storm Evert. The following set of images are all black and white with my personal favourite set for the last post.

The cutter on the left is ANJA with a design based on the Bristol Pilot Cutters of Britain. These boats were able to weather strong storms as well as be sailed short-handed.
On the right, the tanbark ketch is a Sea Witch class of sailboat. Some feel that this class of boat has never been equaled for romantic appearance and living space and comfort in a small cruising design.
I do not recognize the cutter with two tanbark sails. She has an elegant look.

Hugh Angelman designed Sea Witch in 1937 and built one for himself in 1939 at his Wilmington Boat Works in, California In 1951, Sea Witch Won LA to Honolulu Race. After that Sea Witch became a "class" in itself and over the years about 30 have been built. The "Sea Witch Class. excels on romantic appearance and living space and comfort in a small cruising design.
I do not recognize the distant schooner but she has a fine classic gaff-rigged look.
The MV Savona yacht is a 1942, 39′, Ed Monk Sr. design, Forder built for Russell Rathbone in Kenmore on Lake Washington, Seattle. She spent time at the Bremerton Yacht Club while owned by Dr. Kenneth Jackson from 1946-1952. She is back at BYC currently. She has cruised the Inside Passage extensively, as far north as Cape Scott on the northern tip of Vancouver Island, and is a very sturdy and able cruiser.
ENDLESSLY fell her chestnut flowers,
Faint snow throughout the honeyed dark;
The myrtle spread his boughs to drink
Deep draughts of salt from the sea's brink,
And like a moon-dial swung her tower's
Straight shadow o'er her warded park.
From her calm coasts the galleons fled,
The fisher steered him further west,
No port was hailed, no keel came home
Across that pale, enchanted foam,
But by her roof the thrushes fed
And wandering swallows found their rest.
The shadows touched her tenderly,
The red beam lingered on her dress;
The white gull and the osprey knew
Her tower across the leagues of blue.
The wild swan when he sought the sea
Was laggard through her loveliness.

In 1980, Myrtle Beach had become a major tourist destination, riding the wave of the 1970s golf boom and a massive increase in housing development and attractions. Despite the countless beach front hotels, restaurants, and shops, mini golf options for tourists remained sparse. In the winter of 1980, construction began on Treasure Island, a new mini golf course named after the Robert Louis Stevenson classic novel.
After over a decade of success at Treasure Island, plans for a sister course went underway. In 1993, course designer Bobby Cooke designed SpyGlass Mini Golf, complete with motion-picture special effects, including a smoking cannon burst, powder flashes, and water pops. And today, it continues to operate after over 30 years in business and offering visitors the best themed mini-golf anywhere along the Grand Strand!

Ordered by the US Navy on 14 June, 1943, USS Salem (CA 139) was laid down on 4 July, 1945 at the Bethlehem Steel Company's Quincy Yard in Quincy, MA and launched on 25 March, 1947. She was commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard on 14 May, 1949.
USS Salem served a distinguished 10 year career as flagship of the US Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and the Second Fleet in the Atlantic. During her career she served as host to such notables as the US Ambassador to Spain, John D. Lodge; the Honorable Thomas S. Gates, Undersecretary of the Navy; Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, USN, Chief of Naval Operations; the Shah of Iran; the President of Lebanon and the King and Queen of Greece.
Although Salem never fired her mighty guns in anger, her very presence served as a stimulus for peace during those troubled times that came to be called the Cold War. She served as a Lady of Diplomacy, rather than as a means of exerting brute force.
Imagine a small city placed in "mothballs", stored for 35 years, and then reopened and restored to it's former glory.
When USS Salem was decommissioned on 30 January, 1959 and joined the Atlantic Reserve Fleet at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president of the United States and everyone was watching I Love Lucy on their new television.
In October of 1994, Salem once again made her way north to her birthplace in Quincy, where she is now the centerpiece of the United States Naval and Shipbuilding Museum. Bill Clinton was president of the United States, people were watching Murphy Brown and Beverly Hills: 90210 on their big-screen TV's and "surfing the net". Now "crewed" by a staff of museum professionals and enthusiastic volunteers, she is being restored to her full glory.
On 14 May, 1995 - 46 years to the day since her original commissioning - Salem was re-commissioned - this time as a member of the Historic Naval Ships Association. She now serves her country once again with her new mission of teaching people of all generations our nation's rich history of shipbuilding and naval duty.

DAY 19: "SEA WITCH"

The naughty Sea Witch, Ginevra, commands her pet piranha to go and chase the good merfolk of the City of Seabed. And all because they did not want her as their Queen, preferring their existing and kind Queen Melisandre.
The theme for Saturday 19th of September’s “Smile on Saturday” is “fish”. I don’t have a great deal of the merfolk “Magic Ocean” Playmobil, but have started gathering a few bits and pieces as I think about photographing Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid” using Playmobil figures, as I have done for many other faerie tales by the Brothers Grimm.
The Sea Witch in my tableaux is what is known as a “Playmobil Special” which is a limited edition figure with accessories sold in its own box. Released in 2010, she is Playmobil set 4816, known as the “Sea Witch”. Like the “Black Queen” (Playmobil set 4591 released in 2001) her face is painted differently to standard Playmobil figures to suggest that perhaps she is wicked, or mischievous at least with her shifty brown eyes with dark eyelashes! For this reason, she is highly sought after by collectors and is quite expensive to acquire. I thought she and her pet piranha were perfect for the theme. I hope you think so too.
Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil are their vibrant colours and the array of different items that are produced.
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
