The Golden Age of Sail presents a collection of maritime photographs that capture the glorious and romantic days when sailors relied on wind and currents. But the beauty and serenity of the ships at port belie the danger and hardship of life at sea where crashing waves sweep the decks on the Cape Horn route and where tiny figures work in the rigging above the wildly pitching decks.
