Maybe the Indonesians would need work permits to do the inviting and hosting.   There might also be some TV interviews too.  Thai officialdom loves good press. 

 

What a wonderful tradition and a beautiful ship.   Thailand's neighbors look more interesting all the time. 

[phantomfiddler]

What a beautiful sight ! I would feel honored to be a bilge rat on a ship like that ????

[worgeordie]

Expletive !, Thailand going to want one now,or a pair would be better.

A bark rigged ship?

Brigantine only has two masts (I think)

[Burma Bill]

Yes, a majestic vessel. She is relatively new, construction began in Vigo, Spain, in 2016 and she was launched in 2017.

This photo shows her arrival in Padang, Indonesia, and the welcoming ceremony:-

That ship is known as a Barque or Bark

Who cares? It's just great that finally in Thailand we can visit something real! I've never seen a ship in thailand that i would like to visit, i bet they even don't have them..

 

Great from the Indo's to have this ship and still use it..and even better that they open it for public, even when abroad.

a nice German-built ship: Dewaruci

Hate to correct you all but in fact she is a Barquentine.  Before joining the RN I collected paintings and photographs of Tall Ships and when in the RN we saw many of them and my collection of photographs still continues today.  Whenever they come to Toronto I visit and try to add to my collection.  One of the saddest memories was when the British square-rigged barque Marques went down crossing the Atlantic in 1984.

A barquentine or schooner barque is a sailing vessel with three or more masts; with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main, mizzen and any other masts. Wikipedia

 

This ship clearly has more than one square rigged mast.

Just saying ………..I'm no expert.

[ChrisY1]

Sure is a lovely vessel....the RTN must be extremely envious

[Tug]

Went this afternoon. Beautiful ship, nicer than the Indian one. However felt more welcomed, nice explanation, and drinks and snacks as well on the Indian boat.

[madmitch]

I drove past there this afternoon and pointed out this nice looking tall ship that was in the harbour. Unfortunately have just seen this article so had no idea we could have visited!

 

It might have taken me back to the two weeks I spent on a three-masted schooner many years ago. Not the most pleasant of experiences!

Indian?? Read again mate...

[gk10002000]

I grew up in Rhode Island and worked in Newport.  I got to tell you when they first started rounding up and displaying those tall ships, seeing them in Narragansett Bay and at the piers or under sail really was something.  I have spent some time on the water in small sloops and motor boats, but the view from the bridges, some of the ocean roads etc of those tall ships was really something.  Nothing has quite equaled that first regattae that they put together back then.  Now I am working in San Diego and see some ships around here, like that Star of India.  But growing up near the water really gives you some feeling of what those old time sailors went through.  I have been in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean on the Freedom Star, one of the solid rocket booster recovery ships for the old Space Shuttle Program.  Ship had a wide low to the water fan tail.  You could lay down and literally put your hand in the water while we were motoring about at 13 knots in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean about 1,000 miles from the USA coast.  Weird feeling to imagine falling over board, going down to the bottom, no coast around for safe haven, what kind of monster is just below the water surface waiting to grab me with one of its tentacles!

[wotsdermatter]

My collection of paintings, etc., are in England where I have not visited for many years as I live between Canada and other places.  Just had an e-mail from my sister who confirmed the ship is a barque.  I had been thinking of another ship.  For some unknown reason, I mistook her for the Indonesian Navy Ship the KRI Dewaruci.  My apologies to all for my incorrect posted comment reporting the ship to be a Barquentine. 

'nuf sed.

Yes, this one is nicer than the Indian one is that was here 3 years ago.

Comprehension problems much?

[Happy Grumpy]

They could have made the flag a bit bigger.

 

It's hard to see it. 

[tifino]

string up a coupla 'lacky bands between the masts,

and you now have missile capability!
