Frigging in the Rigging Topsail Schooner in Ramsgate Harbour


Any of you wishing to see the good ship Oosterschelde need to get down to the harbour fairly promptly. Their website is at http://www.oosterschelde.nl/welkom-op-de-website-van-driemastschoener-Oosterschelde.html

At some time before I was a shop assistant I worked on this type of vessel in Ramsgate Harbour here are the pictures of her there, in about 1972 I think http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/history/id12.htm     

Pictures of The Oosterschelde taken this morning at http://www.michaelsbookshop.com/511/ .

  2. I saw the ship in the harbour from some distance but made the mistake of doing a bit of shopping before going to take some pics. By the time I got down there it ship was just leaving. I got a few snaps, though from a distance.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
