The Bark Europa

A period of calm during the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009 race leg from

Bermuda to Charleston, SC gave us the opportunity to take the skiff out and

view our ship from the water. With almost every inch of canvas set to eek

out every puff of wind, the Bark Europa looked the most beautiful sight!

Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks, Lucy.

Great image of the big bark. Wow! She even has studsails set outboard of the main mast. You don't see that too often! I love it!!

The best view of her yet, and one that most seldom get to see.

Pronounced, of course, 'stuns'ls'. :)

What a beautiful picture of a sailing ship.

During the 200th year of the U.S.A, I almost got to sail on the Star of India, but alas, it did not happen.
