warnemünde was founded around 1200 as a small fishing village. it was purchased by the city of rostock to safeguard its access to the baltic sea, but within these two centuries it has developed into the most important port (for cruise ships) and major resort city of germany. this sail ship was visiting the same day i was there. as i have never felt or been on a sail ship (not to mention a large one like this one), i just felt inspired to imagine full sails blown by the chilly winds of northern germany in june earlier this year.
