Hi everyone: Jolly ( or anyone). can you tell me where this pic was found? The 4 masted Schooner shown is The Moshulu. It was in the very first scene in one of the Godfather movies when it sailed into NY harbor. in late 1800s just before steam, the ship ran grain from Australia to the UK and US.

Its presently the only 4 masted Schooner still afloat. It was found decaying in some shipyard in Rotterdam, rescued by a wealthy heir to the Heinz Ketchup fortune and brought here to US.. Its presently Docked at Penns Landing in Philadelphia. My brother-in-law owns it and its a fine restaurant. The decks are so large he can run 4 wedding receptions at the same time!! Moshulu - Unique Dining Restaurants in Philadelphia or Best of Philly Restaurants

would like to find a high res picture if available,

Thanks. Frank.

Frank,
I sent you a higher resolution image to your email. You better edit it out of your comment to prevent it from being harvested by spam bots.
Here is a cropped version.

Plus neither of the ships in the enlargement are schooners. The four masted vessel is a barque (three masts square rigged, mizzen fore and aft rigged) The second vessel is ship rigged (square rigged on all three masts).
The vessel to starboard of the forward ship is possibly a four masted schooner.

This is a four masted schooner.



Note there are no yards (the cross poles on the masts ) such as are seen on the vessels in the enlargement.
