I think if the beautiful model had not been included, then this would fit the challenge of "weathered" better.

Great idea to leave the color in the waterline! Believe this will do great!

LOL at the title; as a San Diego native and one who's actually SAILED on the Star of India (neé Euterpe) I'm unaware of any such captain of her :-) Incidentally, the smaller vessel on the cradle is Butcher Boy, and I actually had a chance to sail on HER once in her pre-restoration state. I go back a ways on the San Diego waterfront...

I like the perspective on this and it's well exposed. I don't see the need for the desat in this case - I think the straight B&W would work nicely. That said, the red doesn't hurt the shot either.
