Now who would turn down a trip to Salem?? (Even in the late fall.) But a phone call would probably do just as well. (They used to sell prints of the ships in the collection, but I can’t see where you would order them on the current website.)

Ardis–I’m with you on that drawing of the “Horizon.” Whoever drew it had never seen a sailing ship, or if he had, he wasn’t paying attention.

For starters, it’s really helpful to have standing rigging running abaft from the masts.

Amy, so you’d suggest a trip to Salem to look through 90% of their collection?

Hmm. That picture looks like a redo of Ken Baxter's lovely "Embarkation of the Saints at Liverpool," with the Horizon substituted for the Ellen Maria. Mark B., if anyone has a picture, it would probably be the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts. The Horizon isn't listed in the online catalog, but the museum notes that only 10 percent of the maritime collection is cataloged.

Mark, someone at this family history site has posted an image, but I can't guess whether the artist had anything to go by beyond his imagination. [Later: The more I look at that image, the less I like it. The sails and ropes look like they'd have trouble sailing a toy boat across a bathtub.]

Julia, I wouldn’t leave you hanging! Afternoon fiction and poetry will be posted as usual.

I’m going to enjoy the vacation from posting just like Mom enjoys having someone else do the cooking and dishwashing on Mother’s Day! Amy has some wonderful stories in the hopper.

Sounds good to me! Do we still get Bright Treasure episodes too?

Terrific! Should be a great week.

I looked for a picture of the “beautiful ‘Horizon’” but haven’t succeeded yet. Does anybody know where to find one?
