where can I find pictures of tall ships?
Hi all,I need to portray a ship out in a stormy sea. I'd like the ship to have any
number of sails and be 1800's style, or something similar to the Columbus
ships, Spanish armada, Mayflower or old style British Royal Navy or
something that says tall ship. Does anybody know where I can find a good supply high quality images
(pictures or paintings) of ships? I don't want to buy a ton of image
libraries in order to get 2 ships. Does anyone know of ship image libraries
or a website? Thank you!
Cheers,

| I realize there is substantial variation, but the exact type is not
important to the project. I am not overly particular about the type of tall
ship, but a transport from the late 1700's to 1800's is my preference, with
lots of puffy sales. I am clearly no ship expert, but the image will be
shown to non-experts so I'm not worried. I simply want a high-quality
image. |

| $0.38/image, high resolution:
http://www.dreamstime.com/tallships-image1106378 I think you have to register to use high resolution pics from this site:

| OK that narrows it down a bit. Unfortunately that is a type
not very popular with the historic societies that tend to
re-create naval vessels or later (more practical, and
usually smaller) types. Instead of an images search, it may help you to do a web
search of home pages of various maritime historic societies,
and also training ships. This should get you into the ball
park and if you can't find a couple of good ones to
download, you can always email them. Regards

| Some have mentioned it, probably the best bet for somebody to have
this type of hi-res image is alt.binaries.pictures.tall-ships. In fact, if you go back a couple of years using Google, I'd bet you'd
find exactly what you are looking for. Or you can simply ask a question - explain what you need and I'd bet
one of the folks there would be glad to point you in the right
direction. Lots of hi-res images of sailing vessels in that group -
you just have to ask. Also, try this and see if it helps you any: http://www.swsports.org/images/Spirit%20of%20Massachuetts/ This was the Spirit of Massachusetts passing by Westerly Light,
Westerly, RI. |

| Unfortunately Google does not archive the binary news groups. Too
much space and a certain amount of legal liability I suspect. |

| Well, I suggest you head down to the local hobby shop, pick up the
model of your choice, build it, fill up the tub, hop in, and start
sketching. |

| I tried google images first, but unfortunately those images are all low
resolution. I need high quality images. Other ideas? Thanks,
