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

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.

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

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.

Nice pictures!

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.
