Ahoy from the Barque Picton Castle, a sail training tallship based in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada, but best-known for its sailing adventures around the world.
This magnificent picture was taken by Ian Richards, of Pembrokeshire Photography, at the weekend in The Haven (just off St. Anne's Head).
The ship was in Milford until yesterday (Thursday) and has proved a focal point for people who remember the heydays of the fishing industry in the county.
Built in Swansea in the 1940s, the ship worked out of Pembrokeshire and was named after the county's historic Picton Castle.
A stately square rigger, the ship is currently exploring the broad Atlantic, visiting ports in Europe, Africa and the West Indies and introducing its trainees to the challenges and rewards of traditional seamanship.
