Sea serpents really do exist. And they are a menace to all sea going crafts.

And that’s a big one! Another of your highly imaginative composites Frank.
The ship you’ve used is currently (and sadly) up for sale and the company that (technically) owned it are in liquidation. They were part of the Jubilee Sailing Trust, which thankfully survives and still runs sail training voyages for folk of all abilities on their ship the Tenacious. It’s quite a sight to see someone in a wheelchair being hauled up the mainmast!

Thanks Dave, if I made him smaller than there wouldn’t be much of a threat to ship and crew. I appreciate your backstory on the ship. Hopefully someone will purchase it and preserve it. Better yet use it.

I really like that the serpent is somewhat camouflaged.
Thanks Linda. I added a cloud as a texture at the last minute. I felt it added to the “mystery” for this scene.

Sail faster - it's right behind you!!!
Yeah, more wind. But I think he is gaining and already salivating on this next meal.

I have been on the Tenacious a few times doing voluntary maintain work while in the dock at Southhampton and also when in the dry dock. Very impressive when you underneath her in the dry dock. Also went on Nelson for a look around ..

Excellent. They wouldn’t survive without some volunteers.
I was surprised that Lord Nelson looked quite small, although I’ve only seen her coming up The Solent to dock at Southampton. Certainly not as big as Tenacious. She sometimes overnights in Swanage Bay and also docks in Poole on occasions so we get a few opportunities to see her, unfortunately usually with no sail on. I’ve not been on board. They do some good work, I hope they can get their finances sorted out this time, it would be a shame to lose such a scheme.

I agree it would be a shame to lose the scheme. Here is a picture of Tenacious in dry dock and one with me by her. I did climb to the top of the rigging when she was afloat which I was very pleased with myself for doing as I do not like heights... Pictures not the best quality...

It was all by accident I choose this ship for the composite. Glad to bring you down memory lane.😀

Impressive! Not sure I’d make it to the top of the rigging, up and down a step ladder is enough nowadays! Must say, you certainly look the part Val - keep up the good work!

Thanks Dave, was in 2005 so a few years ago and I would not be able to get to the top now
Won't be doing it again as it was the ex hubby that did a lot for them as he was carpenter and Tenacious is a wooden ship... It was fun to do and the chief did great meals!!!
