Windjammer under Sail

$185.00

Black and white scrimshaw by Gerry Dupont on ancient walrus tooth ivory. Excellent detail of elaborate rigging for the windjammer. Dupont always does his best, as can be seen here.
A windjammer is a commercial sailing ship with multiple masts that may be square rigged, or fore-and-aft rigged, or a combination of the two. The informal term “windjammer” arose during the transition from the Age of Sail to the Age of Steam during the 19th century.
