EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sorlandet, a proud and majestic Norwegian tall ship, graces the waters of Torbay, Devon during the Tall Ships Race in 1962. With her elegant rigging and towering masts, she stands as a testament to the rich maritime history of Norway and the enduring allure of sailing. The Sorlandet, built in 1927, is a three-masted schooner that has sailed the seas for nearly a century. Her sleek lines and graceful curves are a sight to behold, as she cuts through the water with the wind in her sails. In this photograph, taken during the Tall Ships Race, she is a vision of power and beauty, her sails full of wind, her masts reaching for the sky. The Tall Ships Race is an international sailing event that brings together tall ships from around the world. It is a celebration of maritime heritage and a showcase of the skill and dedication of the crews who sail these historic vessels. The race takes place in various locations around the world, and the waters of Torbay, Devon were the setting for this particular event in 1962. The 1960s were a time of great change and innovation, but the allure of the sea and the tradition of sailing remained strong. The Sorlandet, with her long and storied history, represents a connection to the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea. As she sails past the shores of Devon, her sails full of wind, she carries with her the stories of the past and the promise of adventure on the horizon.
