I am not sure that roaming around the “Amerigo Vespucci” would qualify for a proper walk, but this is all I can do with this weather. The training ship is in port before the summer training cruise. You can see how eight men were needed to steer her manually.
I am not sure about this, but it is perfect on the teak deck.
Muskets, candle lanterns, a bugle and a couple of sabers.
An elaborate ashtray, not in use anymore.
A marine-themed reflection in a polished porthole.
Again the teak deck under the shade of large canvas.Search labels: Amerigo Vespucci

I've seen some photos of this ship on another blog...I had no idea as to how large it is and how beautifully constructed. And I was somewhat overwhelmed when I thought how much labor and skill is needed to sail such a vessel.
Love your photos!
I don't know why, but I find this photos so romantic! :)
The details are beautiful. What a wonderful boat!
Very nice, very nice indeed, Especially the first one. We learnt about Amerigo Vespucci at school. He actually got to America before Columbus and America is named after him.

Great series of photos. It looks like a wonderful ship!
How amazing. Excellent. I would love to go aboard this ship and check it all out.
So many to steer---it reminds us that everythings used to be done by man power alone. MB
Such handsome details!
I wouldn't mind one of those lanterns and sabers to display at home.
Tall ships are no less than dreams of craftsmanship and beauty.
Thanks for sharing this! Nice to see and it looks like a nice place to be.
I have seen her a couple of times. A magnificent ship.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful images of this ship.
The details of this ship are beautiful. They way they use the wood in various places adds charm. And yes, the ship looks big enough for you to call it a 'walk!' :-)
Wow, that's a great walk any day. I love the details you chose.
What great details. Lovely collection of photos. I always liked the sound of the surname "Vespucci" even w/o the connection to the Americas.
Ach, this is a tour to die for!
Such beautiful old things on board.
And eight men needed at the wheel(s)!
Wonderful photos of a stupendous ship. Thanks for that!
Wonderful nautical detail shots, VP!
Wow, great work both by the boat builders and the talented photographer.
I would have made an 'ash' of myself guessing. hahaha
