Mending sail on the German four-masted steel barque Magdalene Vinnen.

In 1945, this ship was awarded to the Soviet Union as war compensation and renamed (dun dun dun...) SEDOV. It is now the largest operational tall ship in existence.

I have no idea why three very tiny Black women are there, but I like it. Notice the absence of the Black King; Italian adoration paintings seem less likely to feature a Black King than those from the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium.

Also, this is one of the paintings I come across when doing random searches and slogging through huge piles of information-the fact that these three Black women are there is not tagged or marked in any way in the database. I can’t find any more information or writing about this painting. It is attributed to an anonymous painter of the Neapolitan school, and I suppose it will remain a mystery.

Pride of Baltimore II with everything set.  Ringtail, topgallant, stuns’l, everything.  I think I’m at the helm in this picture.  It was a glorious day, though the wind had died and shifted a few minutes before.

Also, here’s a video version with sound.

Well, I know what I'm listening to today.
