The Gipsy Moth, Greenwich, London

Named for the Gipsy Moth IV Ketch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gipsy_Moth_IV) which used to sit not far away.

Sir Francis Charles Chichester was the first to circumnaivgate the globe via the clipper route and doing so the fastest (when he finished in 1967). He did so after taking up yatching when he survived lung cancer.

Taken with a Lomography Simple Use Reloadable camera (f/9, 1/120s, 31mm) on Lomochrome Metropolis ISO 400.
