maturin Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A square rigger? In the Oka?!? I've been to Kolomna. It's almost impossible to imagine sailing a warship in that river. I wonder how they ever managed to turn it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerKrampus Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Beautiful ship! That high, pinched stern reminds me of a Dutch Fluyt for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
