Description:

A nautical vessel sailing under threatening skies. The sailboat seemingly in the spotlight of the break in the cloud cover as it makes its way through the New York Harbor. In the distance we see the landmarks of an industrial city. Throughout history sailing has been instrumental in the development of civilization, affording humanity greater mobility than travel over land, whether for trade, transport or warfare, and the capacity for fishing. Sailing has contributed to many great explorations in the world.
This is a warm toned black and white photograph. The scene was captured from a pier in Redhook Brooklyn.
.....
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel�s kick and the wind�s song and the white sail�s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea�s face, and a gray dawn breaking.
I must down go to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull�s way and the whale�s way, where the wind�s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick�s over." - John Masefield
