[Rhodes22-list] Italian Training Ship

[elle]

Robert,

thanks for both pix...after looking at the smaller
one, I had to see the larger one...so I did the
dishes, took a shower, & lo & behold...it was almost
there when I came back  (well, I exaggerate a
bit...;^)

It is a beautiful ship...did you happen to see it
under sail? What a maze  of rigging!
