Description:

Please excuse the quality of this shot as I took it with my dad's old Brownie 127 before I knew how to take decent pics. It shows the 1887 built schooner MOBY DICK at Morecambe in 1969 before she was sadly destroyed by fire in 1972.Built at Glasson Dock as the Ryelands she was employed mainly in the China clay trade before being aquired by the film industry in 1950. She starred as the Hispaniola in Treasure Island and then as the Pequod in Moby Dick.
