***see my HERE another post
*** and see HERE MY WSs another capture from Indonesian Dewaruci ship

***The KRI Dewaruci (sometimes spelled Dewa Ruci or Dewarutji) is a Class A tall ship owned and operated by the Indonesian Navy. She is used as a sail training vessel for naval cadets and is the largest tall ship in the Indonesian fleet. The Dewaruci also serves as a goodwill ambassador for the country of Indonesia to the rest of the world.

Built in Germany by HC Stülcken & Sohn, the Dewaruci is a barquentine. Construction on the Dewaruci began in 1932, but was suspended due to the outbreak of World War II, which caused heavy damage to the shipyard where she was being constructed. She was finally completed in 1952 and launched in 1953. Since then, she has been based out of Surabaya on the Java Sea. Her name and figurehead represent and display the mythological Indonesian god of truth and courage.

Until now, KRI Dewaruci still operating and periodicaly visits other foreign countries to meet other tall ships around the world.

The Dewaruci also participates in tall ship races and events around the world. As a unique feature, the ship has her own marching band.

INFO: HERE A tall ship more info is a large traditionally rigged sailing vessel. Popular modern tall ship rigs include topsail schooners, brigantines, brigs and barques. .....etc..wikipedia

Hi Georgios,
Nice capture ! A scene full with different elements; it triggers the viewer to get through and search hidden details.
A scene almost like a "naval" christmas tree !
TFS and best regards

Bonsoir, cher Georgios,
Ce magnifique trois-mâts inspire le respect autant pour l'architecte que pour les marins qui sont à la manoeuvre.
Tu as saisi un moment spectaculaire avec ces marins qui semblent jouer les fildeféristes.
Très belle image (sujet très intéressant à tous points de vue).
Amitiés.
Philippe

Geia sou Giorgo,
A real film scene. We believe to be in pirates' movie. I love these small sailors scattered in shrouds.
The departure of this regatta must be really fantastic.
Thank's for showing us.
Have a nice day, filika

Γεια σου Γεώργιε,
Θυμάμαι ένα συναρμολογούμενο ιστιοφόρο που έκανα μικρός και που στα ιστία του είχα τοποθετήσει πολλές φιγούρες ναυτών σε διάφορες στάσεις σαν και αυτούς στην υπέροχη αυτή φωτογραφία σου, ωραία χρώματα, πολύ καλός φωτισμός και γωνία λήψης.
Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο, Βασίλης.

Kalimera Costantino,
A great capture with the men up on the sails.
Despite the grey sky and low light managed a fairly good outcome here.
Best regards,
