The Balclutha, a 300' square-rigged cargo ship was built in 1886 in Scotland.

 

The Eppelton Hall, a twin engine steam sidewheeler from England, first saw service towing cargo vessels to and from the port of Newcastle, on the River Tyne. She was sold for scrap in 1967, and was eventually readied by a private party for a voyage to California, where she has lived since 1970. Both vessels are now displayed at the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Thanks for having a look.

I like this a lot. There’s a precision about what we can see and a vagueness about what we can't. The crop is perfect with plenty of foggy emptiness for the the tall masts to disappear into and leave us wondering just how tall they are.
