EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Flemish Carrack," transports us back in time to the 15th century, circa 1450. The image, created by the skilled hand of Terry Parker, showcases a Flemish Carrack, a type of large European cargo vessel, commonly used for long-distance trade and exploration. The ship's impressive size is evident from the towering mast, the intricate rigging, and the numerous sails that are furled, ready to be unfurled with the wind. The Flemish Carrack is anchored in a tranquil body of water, surrounded by nature's beauty. A group of crows perched on the ship's railing and a nest atop the mast add a touch of wildlife to the scene. The anchor is lowered, indicating that the ship has dropped anchor for the night or for a brief respite. The ship's rudder is angled slightly, suggesting that it is ready to set sail once again. The Flemish Carrack was an essential means of transportation during the 15th century, enabling the movement of goods, people, and ideas across vast distances. Its sturdy design, with a flat bottom and a raised forecastle and poop deck, made it well-suited for navigating the treacherous waters of the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. This print is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the mariners of the 15th century, who braved the elements to explore new lands and expand the horizons of their world. The intricate details of the Flemish Carrack, from the rigging to the crows' nests, serve as a reminder of the rich history of seafaring and the role it played in shaping our world.
