I am very fond of this photograph...
I'm not sure of the date, but will guess it is from the late 1800's. I don't know when this ship was built or where the person standing took the photograph.
The ship is so majestic.
This was in with photos of trip to Russia, the Vogel River, so who knows...

Thank-you scottscuff! It is such a small photo, but it has such gentle strength to it.
Thanks BeauxPurdy for this post; For a guess the photographer was in the "crows nest" or rigging of another ship.
