[Leica] More tall ships from 1993

[douglas.sharp at gmx.de (Douglas Sharp)]

Hi all,

Some more scans from July/August 1993: the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race in 
Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The "Statsraad Lemkuhl" at anchor off Newcastle at night. WE booked an 
evening trip on the last preserved coastal pleasure steamer in the UK, 
the "Balmoral" - it was almost complete darkness when we got out to this 
3-master. Converted to sepia to cover up for lack of colour quality on 
the original slide - removing the strong blue cast removed just about 
everything else too.

A fleet of small craft accompanying the Mir leaving the Tyne. The black 
and white schooner in the right background is very probably the modern 
Dutch ship by the name of "Eendracht"

The Mir again:

This looks like the Sedov, but it may be the Tovarisch, it was too far 
away to read the name

Definitely the Sedov this time, reefing in the mainsails

The "Sedov" and the "Eeendracht" and some of the crowds lining Tynemouth 
pier

The "Mir" at North Shields

Some of these are pretty rotten quality, partly due to the weather at 
the time and partly due to age (16 years old) and inappropriate storage.

Hope you enjoy viewing them anyway.

Cheers
