It is a silent movie which for me makes it all the more mysterious, like ghosts from the past the images speak for themselves. As always feel free to share and if you like my posts then check back through our older sailing videos. Many are absolute classics. Please do like the page. It encourages me to search out more of the treasures. | Historic Vessel Vega | Facebook
