Topsail schooner Pride of Baltimore II

[rockyp77mk3]

Pride of Baltimore II. Long ago the city of Baltimore used to produce something wonderful. Today the city produces crime, bad leadership, and a hole into which Marylanders tax dollars are poured. But once upon a time it was the home of a thriving ship building center. One of the products was the wonderful little "Baltimore Clipper". Fast, and sleek these ships made excellent privateers as well as carriers for light, high value cargo.

Pride of Baltimore II

Like the original Pride, the Pride II is not a replica of a specific vessel, and, although it represents a type of vessel known as a "Baltimore Clipper", it was built to contemporary standards for seaworthiness and comfort. Like its predecessor, it is a topsail schooner. Built in the iconic "Baltimore Clipper" style, Pride II has heavily raked masts, and has 10 sails, she carries two large gaff sails (one on a boom and one loose-footed), a main gaff topsail, three headsails, and a square topsail and flying topgallant on the foremast. Also rare on modern traditional sailing vessels, it flies studding sails (stun's'ls), additional sails set along the edge of the square topsail and the gaff mainsail on temporary spars known as stun's'l booms. Pride II also carries a very unusual sail known as a ring-tail, set like a studding sail off the main boom and main gaff.

Over two decades later in its storied career, on 5 September 2005, the Pride of Baltimore II suffered a complete dismasting while sailing in a squall in the Bay of Biscay off the western coast of France. The ship returned to port under motor power for repairs and spent over four months rebuilding the rig in St. Nazaire, France.

Until 2010, the Pride of Baltimore II was owned by the citizens of the state of Maryland and operated by Pride of Baltimore, Inc., a private, nonprofit organization. Ownership was transferred to the ship's nonprofit operator with unanimous approval by Maryland's state governmental Board of Public Works on 9 June 2010.

The American Clipper USS ROSSIE and British ship, Princess Amelia engaging, on September 16, 1812.

"Commodore Joshua Barney in the Baltimore-built Clipper Schooner USS ROSSIE of 14 guns and 120 men sailed on September 7. On the 9th, a British squadron of 3 ships vainly tried to overhaul him and, on the 12th, a British frigate chased him for 6 hours and then gave up. On the 16th, ROSSIE fell in with the British ship, PRINCESS AMELIA, an armed trader, and for one hour there was a steady combat. The Rossie was badly cut up in sails and rigging but her hull and spars escaped. She had 7 men hurt, one severely. The PRINCESS AMELIA was badly cut up alow and aloft and had her captain, sailing master, and a seaman killed and 7 wounded before she surrendered."

Can you draw a clipper ship?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper

The closest I can give you is the Baltimore ver as the others had so many sails and I just didn't want to do all of that

Besides I have never drawn a ship before

Baltimore Clipper; “Pride of Baltimore II”.   

The last good thing out of that benighted city.

This is so very specific and yet weirdly generic?! A War of 1812 t-shirt, from a vendor who seemingly doesn't have any related merchandise, and just: Schooners. Not a specific ship, but a type of ship. Did they mean to go for the Baltimore clipper but ended up with the schooner? I was looking up Fort George t-shirts when this came up and so help me I bought one, I can't resist War of 1812 boat shirt.

"The Liars." From Surah 10, Surah Yunus, "The Dove."

It is now very clear a bunch of Mormons took a cruise ship made in China, armed it with conventional and kinetic weapons and lasers, outfitted it with a Russian attack sub, had it followed by escorts decorated with "black and green and orange lights", and were caught in the act in Baltimore Harbor. Hopefully they are all dead or dying inside their container vessels.

Then they put head towels on, started banging marching band percussion instruments and behaving violently on college campuses all around the world. They don't fit in, they don't belong. They like to pretend they do, but it's not quite twerking.

These are the same persons who attacked Israel on October 7 pretending to be Muslims, the same persons who are aligned with Donald Trump, Dick Cheney, Mike Pence, George Bush and buddies at Liberty University, Christian Broadcasting Network and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And they are trying to take another swing at the White House once again.

None of these are affiliated with the Mosque, they are not Muslim, nor have they ever lived in Palestine. They are all devils and demoniacs and they deserve to die for what they have done.

They believe a sickening story about a clipper ship in 600 BCE that they think was blown across the continents and the oceans to the New World, where Jesus Christ appeared a second time to discuss their eventual return to Israel to conquer it.

This they are trying to do now, by hiding behind Islam as an excuse and the US Government has given them wide lattitude to do it: Donald Trump, their chief enabler yet lives, even after the slaughter and kidnapping of thousands of Jews on October 7.

Just look at the deep delusions these people are under:

These same highly organized raisinettes rape, murder, and steal without compunction, and are now plotting to pull the heist of humanity and steal Israel away from the Jews and Muslims that currently live there, and if Donald Trump is allowed to survive and make it into the White House again, they very well might be able to do it. They got very close this time...but what do they have planned next? There are 17 million of them, way more than even Hitler's army. And you all know how friendly Trump is with Vladimir Putin who is friendly with the Iranians.

The Quran says such liars and corruptors must be exterminated:

10: 66-70:

Certainly to Allah ˹alone˺ belong all those in the heavens and all those on the earth. And what do those who associate others with Allah really follow? They follow nothing but assumptions and do nothing but lie.

He is the One Who has made the night for you to rest in and the day bright. Surely in this are signs for people who listen.

They1 say, “Allah has offspring.”2 Glory be to Him! He is the Self-Sufficient. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. You have no proof of this! Do you say about Allah what you do not know?

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Indeed, those who fabricate lies against Allah will never succeed.”

˹It is only˺ a brief enjoyment in this world, then to Us is their return, then We will make them taste the severe punishment for their disbelief.

Commentary:

The unholy alliance between the Mormons, the great liars, the Republicans, Russians and Iranians, and their tailfeathers called Hamas and Hezbollah must be incinerated as soon as possible. The Mormons think they were all born in Palestine in another lifetime, in a dream where Jesus Christ was made and they think God wants them to take it for themselves in the here and now. They are an illness, a disease which must not be allowed to quicken.

While we mess with this shit, the world is heaving, the oceans are swelling, and the air is thinning. Vladimir Putin, a hater of Muslims, and the Iranians, tormentors of Muslims, and Donald Trump and the rest have to pay for what they have done. The liars especially have to pay.
