This is my third in the Tall Ship Race series. We are looking at the SEDOV, named after the Arctic explorer Georgy Sedov. The ship was built in 1921 by KRUPS. This 4 mast barque sailed under the name Magdalena Vinnen in the Nitrate trade with Chili, later it went into the grain trade with Australia. In 1936 it was renamed Kommodore Johnsson.
After WWII it became Russian. It is, together with its sistership Krushenstern ( in the background), one of the last Cape Horners.
Home base Murmansk.
It takes passengers-
Sail: 3.971 m2
122 m.
beam: 14.2 m
draught: 6.5 m
Tonnage: 3.709

Wow!! What a great picture of the SEDOV. She is great! John dit is echt een prachtige foto. De schepen op de achtergrond geven de foto lekker veel diepte. En de catamaran op de voorgrond is een prachtig detail. Vooral de kleuren van het zeil zijn mooi. Ik hoop dat je nog meer van dit soort foto's hebt.

A very impressive shot, John. The SEDOV is a very beautiful ship, and you captured her in all her glory. The small boats on the left make for an interesting contrast, and an engaging addition to your composition. I also like the "big sky" with the impressive clouds in the back. Together with your note, this posting is a great success. Congratulations.

Le 4 mats est bien positionné sur l'image et la prolongation sur le second est bonne le petit voilier aussi obtient une belle place et de part ces couleurs il attire davantage le regard.
Bien vu John

Superb shot, the barques are truly beautiful and the inclusion of the yellow and red sail makes a lovely contrast.

It must be an amazing to see these ships not only on pics like us. Surrounded by all these small modern boats they look even more majestic.

Great shot. Nice composition and colors

je n'aimerais pas etre dans le petit bateau !

Une photo dans la lignée des deux autres qui complete ta superbe serie.
Des couleurs franches très lisse et des très bon détails qui mettent bien en valeur ces super bateau.

And this one is even better, John. 4 masts! The sea looks like a painting. if I ignore the small boats, it looks like a beautiful convoy. Well done, John.

Je suis passé à côté de cette superbe Marine. Je ne voudrais pas devoir repasser les voiles (3.971 M2) !
Magnifique, John.
Toujours une note d'accompagnement très documentée.

Bien vu le contraste entre le vieux navire et l'embarcation ultra moderne tout en couleur ! belle composition, joli ciel

I'd never seen sailing ships before and I could only imagined how big they are. By getting the catamaran in view, the scale is pretty descriptive.

Jolies teintes pour cette très jolie photo . ( Que ces vieux bâteau sont beaux ) . bien vue .
Pretty colours for this very pretty photograph. (That these old boat are beautiful). seen well.

John I like this shot very much,the smaller sailing craft adds greatly to the overall picture,wonderful colour and a great feeling of space. very well captured. Joe.

Bonjour John
Il me semble voir une diapositive projetée sur un écran.
Je note une très bonne luminosité particulière du ciel et les couleurs sont très appréciables.
C'est une photo de très bonne qualité.
