#Schooner Roseway

[secret-vampkissers-soiree]

This is my moodboard for the brilliant Castaways and Cutouts by @p1ckthep01son! I love a good nautical-pirate-mermaid-type adventure, and I may have gone just a little bit wild with this one, but it's a great story and I had a fun time putting these pictures together. It's such a fun high seas adventure and I highly recommend reading it!

Image sources (and a little rambling) below the cut.

Top row, left to right: my own photo onboard the Schooner Roseway; here with my own color editing; my own photo onboard Appledore IV (at the 2019 Green Bay Tall Ship Festival).

Left vertical column, top to bottom: here with my own recoloring; middle picture is my own of the Flagship Niagara (at the same festival); my own edits of this picture.

Center image: my own extensive edits of this image, plus hair from this image and this image (I thought about using William's actual hair like I did with Gabe, but I pictured him as having a sailor's ponytail in this fic, and surprisingly I don't think I've ever seen William with a ponytail, and so my encyclopedic archives of hundreds of David Tennant images that I've had saved since 2015 came in handy).

Right column, top to bottom: here, here (my recoloring), and my own photo onboard the Appledore IV

Bottom row: my own photo onboard the Appledore IV, here, and here

I love tall ships so so so much and it was fun to get to use a lot of my own photography in this one :) I'm just. a huge fan of boats <3

we're simply wild about these big beautiful boats

pictured: schooners alert, american eagle, brilliant, thomas e. lannon, adventure, tyrone, roseway, when and if, tree of life, and columbia (which is, enjoyably, a replica of the original columbia built by my original great grandfather)

also pictured: me and my dad, displaying the breezy confidence of people who think they're wearing enough sunscreen

not pictured: schooner ardelle, because we are on it. certain pirate enthusiasts will be glad to know that ardelle has a bird guy.

running off to sea: some tall ships to consider

This is intended as starting point for people interested in sailing tall ships. It’s by no means a complete list, either for tall ships as a whole or in the areas in which I’ve worked. It’s solely boats that I or friends have worked on in the past, with positive enough experiences that I feel comfortable recommending them. Will be updated over time, and feel free to add to it!

I’ve included the website of each boat (where you should be able to find contact info!), the home port/s, and what kind of work they do - educational, day sails, or windjamming (multi-day trips).

* - drawback

! - travels widely and often

location/location - sails in both summer and winter, transits along the coast

Mary Day - Camden, Maine, windjammer

Lewis R French - Camden, Maine, windjammer

Ladona - Rockland, Maine, windjammer

Stephen Taber- Rockland, Maine, windjammer

American Eagle - Rockland, Maine, windjammer

Angelique - Camden, Maine, windjammer

* Mistress, Mercantile, and Grace Bailey, ‘The Green Boats’ - Camden Maine, windjammers. (I know several people who began their sailing careers on these, but be aware they’re infamous for underpaying crew).

Wendameen, Bagheera, and Timberwind, Portland Schooner Company - Portland, Maine, day sails

!Adventuress - Port Townsend, Washington, educational

Zodiac - Bellingham, Washington, windjammer and day sails

Adventure - Gloucester, Massachusetts, educational

*!Roseway - Boston, Massachusetts/ St Croix, US Virgin Islands, educational. (Requires a contract of a year, and management is somewhat chaotic at present moment).

!Lynx - Nantucket, Massachusetts/St Petersburg, Florida, educational

Spirit of South Carolina - Charleston, South Carolina, educational

*!Pride of Baltimore - Baltimore, Maryland, educational (facing some financial difficulties; I’m not sure what her future will hold)

*Liberty Clipper and Liberty Star - Boston and Bahamas, day sails and windjamming. (In the past, something of a frat house reputation, although they’re under new ownership now, and I have several friends and two captains who started out sailing on them and remember them fondly.)

!When and If - Boston/Key West, day sails and windjamming.

Heron - Rockport, Maine/the Grenadines, day sails and windjamming

Olad and Owl - Camden, Maine, day sails

Surprise - Camden, Maine, day sails

Argia - Mystic, Connecticut, day sails

*Kalmar Nyckel - Wilmington, Delaware, educational (a really cool boat but largely volunteer based).
