Awesome photos. Live just south of Bmore (20 miles) and have only been to the inner harbor once. Next week I hope to get to Ft McHenry as I have never been there before.

O.K. Maybe it is time for another trip along the eastern seaboard. Thanks for more pics, Eric.

Lovely ship; thanks for sharing.


I've never seen a sail setting like the above. Great pic.:beer:

Top sail schooners were built to have the best of both sailing profiles: schooner-rigged and ship-rigged.
I sailed on a schooner similar to this (no top-rigging) for 2 months in college. Quite an experience.

I believe that qualifies as Langton sail setting: "Full Complement". Set every scrap of canvas to catch a whiff of wind! Pride has a stuns'l and a ringtail set up abaft the spanker.

I saw her at the Great Schooner Race on the Cheasapake Bay last year. Nice breeze before the start, then the wind died. :sad:

Here is another shot of the Pride I took when there was more breeze and a photo of the Sultana for a comparison between 18th and 19th century schooner designs. Sultana is a replica of British schooner circa 1768 and is based out of Chestertown, MD.

Just need to photo shop out the bridge and motor cruiser! Notice the yard set up for a stuns'.

The design of the Pride make her a far more beautiful ship. Her sleek lines show she was built for speed.
