The ship looks so very clean, and shipshape
.!

Or is it a boat? Never sure!

It’s a ship. It has three masts and is ocean going.

A ship can carry a boat, but a boat can’t carry a ship (as my grandfather told me 60 years ago)

Another answer is that a ship’s captain gets annoyed if you refer to his vessel as a boat, but a boat’s captain does not get annoyed if you refer to his vessel as a ship.

Those sails have an ‘about to cascade into voluptuousness’ feel about them, for me. Soon to be filled out and rounded by a warm & salty wind! A busty-looking pirate ship!

Just waxing lyrical!

Oh, Stella! Thank you.

This is quite wonderful to watch. Crowds used to look so elegant. And les Maires look as though they all have the same tailor.

I greatly enjoyed this walk through 1900
