As being a huge fan of tall sailing ships for years, I'm so happy with this card... It is one of my dreams to sailing on one only powered by wind...(But maybe I will be seasick the whole time...:D)
...Bit sad that it is now a restaurant and don't sail anymore... Thanks a lot!!
Nice stamp too!!Depicted on this stamp from 2009 is Mecislovas Reinys,a Roman Catholic bishop.
Some interesting point: He successfully defended his doctoral thesis in Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BELGIUM)!!! in 1912. With his fellow students he worked at organizing a Lithuanian students' league.
