 Star of India 1863. I bet the riggings not that old, but the ship is. Docked in San Diego, part of the Maritime Museum.

"Star of India is the world's oldest active sailing ship. She began her life on the stocks at Ramsey Shipyard in the Isle of Man in 1863. Iron ships were experiments of sorts then, with most vessels still being built of wood. Within five months of laying her keel, the ship was launched into her element. She bore the name Euterpe, after the Greek muse of music and poetry."

Nice composition. Not entirely sold on the B&W as I feel it lacks some contrast. Maybe if there was a wider tonal range, but it feels safely in the middle. Very nice shot though.

Nice image, but just a little flat IMO.
