The Albatros

The Albatros, also known as a North Sea Klipper is a sailing ship built in 1899. It was used for carrying cargo between Holland and the Baltic and was in operation until its last commercial sailing trip in 2008. It is now permanently moored alongside the Quay in Wells-Next-The-Sea, Norfolk U.K. where it is used as a B&B and bar. It also serves great pancakes.

This photo taken in early December on a cold still morning shows the Albatros under a blanket of thick fog, home to a number of Starlings and Gulls.
