A lot of beautiful photographs, Spring is here and the sun is shining they gave me an Easter’s Egg for present yesterday and I was happy, the sky is blue, at least here in my home in Italy and I’m happy watching beautiful photographs summer related / beautiful weather related. And you know what? YouTube’s algorithm must have understood it because precisely yesterday it gave me on its homepage a video with this ship of the Italian Navy, the Amerigo Vespucci, that was dubbed 60 years ago, 62 perhaps “The Most Beautiful Ship In The World” by the American Navy Aircraft Carrier Independence’s crew and two years ago they did it again with the George W H Bush Aircraft Carrier, and really, you see her, white and blue, golden inlaid and true shining wooden boats deck, with white sails, that must be the original ones of 93 years ago because they’re not white shining they’re white a bit tendency beige that means they are old: the ship was launched in 1931, Italy was still a kingdom, the King was posh and wanted elegant things perhaps. Btw it really still works and can sail across the globe, it’s a Navy School Ship used to train the cadets. Amerigo Vespucci was the Italian sailor who understood that the Continent found by Columbus wasn’t India at all and started saying “this is a new Continent” between Europe and Asia, since his official name in Latin was Americus Vespucci because back then Italian was still considered almost like a dialect the official documents’s language was Latin, people called that Continent “America” not knowing how else to call her, therefore America was dubbed The New World.
The ship kind of really wants to be pretty but it is, enjoy the photographs:
