The Making of 'Alma Doepel with Clouds':

This maritime monochrome was photographed in black and white on one of my winter afternoon strolls along the Town Green, beside the Hastings River in Port Macquarie, Mid-north Coast, NSW, Australia.
The ship is the Alma Doepel, a three masted topsail schooner, Australian built and operated with more than one hundred years of history behind her and with more history to be written.
Sadly the owners of the ship decided a couple of years ago to sail her down to Port Philip Bay, Melbourne, Victoria, never to return to Port again.

Enjoy!
