Description
Inspired by the great American marine painter John Stobart I always wanted to take a picture from the past where the star is a clipper ship. The ship is the American clipper "Young America" built in 1853. This ship was not a record but still one of the fastest ships of its time. Anyone who has ever sailed knows how incredibly fast the speed of 18 - 22 knots is. Unfortunately there is only one original clipper left in the world, the "Cutty Sark", which can be seen in London as a museum ship.
I had the "Young Amerika" moored in a fictitious harbour, where she waits for her cargo the next day. The crew enjoys themselves in the harbour pubs while the ship and its captain impatiently wait for the next crossing to set up a record. Dear John Stobart, thank you very much for this inspiration and for your countless great paintings that touch me deeply and take me to a different time.

Häufig hört man den Satz: Damals war alles besser. Es war sicher nicht alles besser. Aber die Großsegler waren auf alle Fälle schöner. Das Bild ist wunderbar kompositioniert.

Thank you so much, Petra! Heute ist es auch gut, zum Beispiel Dich zu kennen! Fazinierend aber ist es auch sich in andere Zeiten träumen und sich vorzustellen wie es früher einmal war.
