The five-masted barque Potosi (1895) under full square sail and jibs in calm seas
A starboard broadside view of the five-masted barque Potosi (1895) under full square sail and jibs with the jigger sails also set. The ship is in calm waters and the square sails are set at an angle to starboard to catch the wind coming over the port quarter. The photographer took this photograph from the sea. It is slightly out of focus.
