    Question What kind of ship is this?

    I see this image of a historic ship in a games ad quite a lot, but I can't figure out what sort of vessel she is. Does anyone know?

    Just someone's imagination George, as even allowing for perspective the foremast is taller than the mainmast, and that rarely happens. From the bow wave she is going at a fair lick through the water and yet has no wake, and if real would have caused countless damage to riverside craft and structure, just a rambling thought!

    Seen many a such one, the imagination of some one who does not know or understand.
    But on a seasonal card who cares, p[articularly if the is a 'fiver' in there.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
