My previous profile picture was taken on the USS Constitution.
Long story.
Very nice pics mate!! Dou you live in the US, if I may asking for? Have a good day and see soon!!So now that the introduction is made, let me introduce... the USS Constitution!
While ships of the line are nice, for me a ship must also be fast, and not just powerful.
She is both fast and powerful, when she was made, she was the last word of technology and there are reports of cannonballs bouncing off her hull, earning her the nickname Old Ironsides.
She is the second oldest commitioned warship in the world.
Second only to the equally legendary HMS Victory, but she is dry docked, so the USS Constitution is the oldest commitioned warship still afloat.
For stats see this: The US Navy -- Fact File: USS Constitution
Great collection mate!! Keep on going!!I have multiple.
Listed below in attempted chronological order (for me).
Amsterdam (VOC ship) - Wikipedia (visited many times)
RV Calypso - Wikipedia (seen on TV)
6560-1: Diving Expedition Explorer (owner)
Europa (ship) - Wikipedia (visited, captain was instructor at Enkhuizen Nautical Academy)
Rainbow Warrior (1957) - Wikipedia (interest)
Alcyone (ship) - Wikipedia (seen on TV)
Scouting Amsterdam - Elfregi Zeeverkenners (sailed myself)
(Wooden "Schouw" and "Vlet")
Stad Amsterdam - Wikipedia (seen built, sailed as passenger for a few hours, captain was instructor at Enkhuizen Nautical Academy)
She's easily the most classy and beautiful ship I know. Excepting... perhaps... my own 9m sailboat "Atlantis", of course!
I still remember when I was young(er) living in Amsterdam and I spent massive amounts of time at my favourite Scheepvaartmuseum there. This was in the days that the clipper Stad Amsterdam was being built there, so I first saw her as a hulk with no masts. Even then, I couldn't help but admire those sleek lines.
Of course I kept loosely in touch with her throughout the years (a genuine love will always remain love), but I hadn't stepped foot on board since SAIL 2005, right before starting at the Hogere Zeevaartschool Amsterdam. In the almost 15 years since, I finished my education there, worked as navigation officer at sea for 5 years and have done a wide variety of Maritime Research as well.
Yet in those 15 years, I never had a chance to return to her. Until a few weeks ago, back at the Scheepvaartmuseum. When I visited again, together with my family. And she was lying exactly where I first saw and remember her.
It all comes back full circle.

I always felt the AV was a bit TOO gilded up.now I only miss L Amerigo Vespucci, too bad it can't be visited but seeing it navigate is a show ..
Sì, è un souvenir croato che mi hanno regalato... è super economico...Non mi piace sempre quel livello di modello.
Sembra così economico e falso.
Se è troppo dorato per essere visualizzato, guarda cosa hanno inventato ...Ho sempre pensato che l'AV fosse un po' TROPPO dorato.
Come se si esibissero apposta..
You too have with your pretty dutch ship mate!Good nicely varied list!
Ye have good taste, ye do.
Great respect goes out to you for your effort!! May be enough to save planet earth?Modern fully custom DynaRig design.
