Maritime - merry time

Being in Barca, city-museum, it is impossible to pass over all these architectural masterpieces and historical attractions. Not paying a peso, everyone has an opportunity to open the unique creatures of many talented artists. Moreover, if pay a peso, a person will get twice more impressions.  Blah-blah, cutting a long story short: I'd been accumulating the desire of visiting the Maritime museum for 3 years. It was fortunate that I'd chosen this very day and this very hour - free visit for all.

Btw, this is the website: www.mmb.cat. An extract: "The Maritime Museum is an institution dedicated to maritime culture with more than 80 years of history. Its mission is to preserve, study and promote the maritime heritage of the country, one of the richest in the Mediterranean. It is located in the building of the Royal Shipyards , the waterfront city at the foot of the mountain of Montjuic. Shipyards were classified in 1976 as a Historic-Artistic Monument for its historical significance in the shipbuilding. This facility is managed by the Consortium Royal Shipyards and Maritime Museum, made ​​by the City Council, Barcelona Provincial Council and the Port Authority of Barcelona. In 2006, the Maritime Museum Museum was declared of national interest."

I went there with the hope to see something of my interest. And I did. There in Russia no museums with the contemporary yachts. I found two ones there.



This is a  junior class yacht "Optimist" made of wood. These plastic ones took part in 2 last Pskov regattas(2012 and 2013) btw:



Amazing windfall: this class of yachts didn't appear at the Regatta, but I met it in the museum. Finally, Flying Dutchman.
Rare moment when no one walk in front of the lens.
