Friday photo - Magdalene Vinnen
3:17 PMToday's photo is a little more abstract as it just shows the rigging and mast of the Magdalene Vinnen. This was a four masted barque, built in Germany and launched from Kiel in 1921.
The Australian Maritime Museum has several images of the Magdalene Vinnen on Flickr. They are taken from their collection of photographs by Samuel J Hood who also had a passion for ships and took lots of photos of them over 72 years. He sounds very similar to our Dan McDonald. My favourite of theirs it this one of a sailmaker doing repairs:
