A true clipper ship, the Star Clipper is a Barquentine in common use before 1912 and reflects her proud heritage in every inch of polished brass. The ship is intimate, with room for just 170 passengers, but spacious accommodations and expansive teak decks provide ample space for relaxation or recreation. It was as though we had traveled back in time spending evenings in front of the fireplace in the Edwardian-style library. Antique prints and paintings of famous sailing ships please the eye, while teak and gleaming mahogany rails are richly reminiscent of Star Clippers' proud nautical heritage. Touring the Southern Cyclades and the coast of Turkey, the experience was out of Masterpiece Theatre. I took more than 1,000 images using three cameras. Here, the ship is moored in the harbor at the island of Rhodes.
