From Netsurfer Science edition 05/21/99 Tall Ships In the age of nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers, the tall ship is still flying three sheets in the wind. As you might expect, some of these massive, masted sailing vessels have been restored for pleasure cruises. Others are kept by corporations as Victorian industrialists might have kept an exquisite consort. But at this Tall Ships International Magazine sponsored site, read about newer applications, such as teaching corporate management teams cooperative skills. Chartered youth group crews learn confidence, self-reliance and leadership skills. Profiles of 13 operational ships give each unique story, often involving a period of hard luck or disrepair and triumphant restoration. http://www.tallship.co.uk/tallship/profiles.htm ===
