The BALCLUTHA Schooner Poster
The BALCLUTHA moored in San Francisco Harbor was built in Glasgow Scotland in 1886. It is one of only 3 steel-hulled, fully-rigged three masted schooners in existence.
It is a true workhorse of United states maritime history and a National Historic Landmark. The ship made 17 trips around Africa's notorious Cape Horn, each taking nearly half a year.
“No one who has not been there can imagine the strain on the Captain in trying to get around Cape Horn,” said ships Captain Alfred Durkee at the end of the 19th century. “This passage in the BALCLUTHA was about my hardest time!”
It began hauling general cargo and coal from Europe and returning there with California grain. Then the ship hauled lumber from the Pacific Northwest to Australia and returned with coal. Finally, she fished Alaska waters for salmon and carried more than 200 crew and passengers there and back. The normal crew capacity was 26 in her earlier days.
In 1935, the ship starred with Clark Gable and Charles Laughton in MUTINY on the BOUNTY, a Hollywood blockbuster of the era.

AS a boy I lived only a few miles from where the Balclutha was moored and open to the public. The print that I received is just how I remembered this fine Schooner. I made a nice frame for the print and its hanging in our entry hall.

I was so amazed at how this all turned out. Everyone who attended the funeral was in awe of how beautiful it was made.
And I owe it all to Zazzle. I wouldn’t have done it better myself not to mention I wouldnt have time to do it.
The great part of it all was they had templates that was catered to my needs and that I could use it in ways I wanted to use to resize it my way. It took some time but I was happy it turned out great. I did 100 photos, 89, 66 photos (I think) lol templates.
The only suggestion is that the templates, before sending through would tell you of errors like; saying please revise or resize it again for any photos that is not perfectly well sitting or not show it’s cutting off some of them and where it tells you there’s duplicates.
Staring, placing and resizing all 100 + pictures into the template can be tiresome and overwhelming and it makes my eyes blurred that I can’t tell if they’re cutting off or overlapping or duplicates.
Overall I am very pleased and will be using Zazzle again should the need arises.
Thank you Zazzle.
Altogether I’ve done 3 collages 1 profile picture and couple pictures with 1 frame and yet this is my first time ordering as a 1 time customer.
Prices were very reasonable and accommodating to my finances.
