When I first looked a few months ago, there was a full rigged ship on a dictionary or some other sort of book (I did some googling, and the Joseph Bellows website tells me it is called Swell). If I could ever bring myself to take scissors to a book (a “keeper” book, I mean, I like what your husband does), I would buy your husband’s book and frame this image, I love it so much. Actually, since I found the price of prints at the Thomas Barry website, I think that’s the only way it’s going to happen, for a poor, bluenose History MA student such as myself (bluenose meaning Nova Scotian, meaning a sailor and a Naval history nerd). Ha. Well, I hope your husband doesn’t mind if I use the image as my facebook profile pic? I was a little concerned, and would feel better about it with permission.
