Of course she looks good, it's Italian. They make Ferraris and Sophia Lorens.

That rigging sure looks complicated.

Glad we didn't sink her in WW2. She is stunning.

Or scrapped in some capacity for the same conflict.

Must have been pretty windy. She looks like she's moved out pretty well and the sails aren't even un-furled.

I looked her up.

...The vessel is a full rigged three-masted steel hull 82.4 m (270.34 ft) long, with an overall length of 101 m (331 ft) including the bowsprit and a maximum width of 15.5 m (51 ft). She has a draught of about seven metres (23 ft) and a displacement at full load of 4146 tons. Under auxiliary diesel-electric propulsion the Amerigo Vespucci can reach 10 knots (19 km/h) and has a range of 5450 nm at 6.5 knots.
