This rather splendid sailing vessel was anchored recently, for a few days, in front of Mauna Kea Resort. It’s the Robert C. Seamans, a 134-foot steel-hulled brigantine that, despite its classic appearance, was built in 2001. The vessel is a Sailing School Vessel (SSV) operated by the Sea Education Association, which conducts sail training and research.

I can hardly believe they still build ships in that style. There is an old wooden one, here, that is over 100 years old and people apply to sail on it from here to the next state and back. The girl next door did it and there was a storm, requiring her to climb up and fix a sail. I don’t know how she did it – I was sick hearing the recall.

I used to sail quite a bit when I was younger. In those days I’d have signed up for something like this in a heartbeat. These days, not so much!

A great looking ship but to sail that would be hard work

True, but unlike the old days when that hard work was rewarded with hard tack with weevils, I suspect this one serves nicely prepared meals, possibly with a glass of wine for those of age!

It really catches the eye, especially with those square sails. I think they operate with a good sized crew.
