HMS Mersey (P283)
Pictured above is HMS Mersey (P283), a river class Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV), which was near the start line as the tall ships left Lerwick before on their race to Stavanger in Norway.
I feel all the elements in the image made for an interesting composition.

Official Tall Ships Races 2011 – Lerwick Merchandise
There is now only seven days to go until the Tall Ships Races 2011 – Lerwick. If it is anything like 1999 we’re in for a fantastic event.
Over the last few months I have been working with the Tall Ships Races team on the official merchandise. One of my projects was to take product shots of all the official merchandise.
The Camera Centre have produced a great range of gift items which include mugs, Keyrings, coasters and fridge magnets.
Intersport have designed and printed a lovely selection of clothing which include t-shirts, sweatshirts and polo shirts.
Shetland Jewellery have created a stunning range of sterling silver and 9 carat gold pieces while Harry’s Department Store have a range of Burns Crystal glassware.
To view and purchase these items you can visit the official online store here.
To get you in the mood for the big event next week, you can view my archive collection series from Tall Ships 1999 here.

Tall Ships Races 2011 – Archive Collection #5
Pictured above is the Kruzenshtern leaving Lerwick Harbour in 1999. The Kruzenshtern is on the list of ships which will be visiting again for Tall Ships Shetland 2011.
More information on the Kruzenshtern can be found at a previous blog entry here. The full Tall Ships Races 2011 – Archive Collection blog entries can be found here.
All the images in this collection were taken on 35mm slide film. Technological advances in photography have changed dramatically in the last 12 years making film a thing of the past. Anyone wishing to purchase slide film, however, can do so at The Camera Centre, 72 Commercial Street, Lerwick.

KRUZENSHTERN
Pictured above is the Kruzenshtern leaving Lerwick Harbour in 1999. The Kruzenshtern is on the list of ships which will be visiting again for Tall Ships Shetland 2011.
Here is some more information:
The Krusenstern or Kruzenshtern (Russian: Барк «Крузенштерн») is a Russian four masted barque and tall ship that was built in 1926 in Bremerhaven-Wesermünde, Germany, as shipyard number “S408″ under the name Padua (named after the eponymous Italian city). She was given to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation and renamed after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770-1846).
Of the four remaining Flying P-Liners, the Ex-Padua is the only one still in use, mainly for training purposes, with her home ports in Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg) and Murmansk. After the Sedov, another former German ship, she is the largest traditional sailing vessel still in operation. Originally, like all P-liners, she was painted according to the colours of the German national flag of the German Empire era, black (hull above water, topsides), white (waterline area) and red (underwater body).
The Kruzenshtern led the international procession of tall ships into New York Harbor for Operation Sail on Sunday, July 4, 1976.
