When I was at a visit in the Netherlands last weekend in Den Helder, I found a traditinell sailing ship called Tres Hombres, who trades in the old way.
I think we can post here links of such ships.
So read the following links and enjoy, that these ships are still alive :happy:

Thank you Ulrich and welcome back. Really cool links you posted. I would love to see more sail only vessels on the seas.

Thanks Uli. The blog link led me to some decent books, an unexpected plus.
