..and I mean good. Basic internet searches haven't turned anything up. Anyone?:confused:

That depends. I have some close up shots of some of the details around the ship I took for my next project. What sort of pic are you looking for?

From MousePlanet's image archives:

This originally ran with a David Koenig mailbag (http://www.mouseplanet.com/david/m062901.htm) column.

I found a few others using Google Image Search (http://images.google.com/images?q=Sailing+Ship+Columbia&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&safe=off&sa=N&tab=wi) that may help you, too.

Ooooh...almost perfect! If only I could find a photo from the early years when it had sails..with the america flag flying. I know there's a few, but....::sigh::

Is there a link to the MP Image Archives? Is there an actually site? Or rather just a file on a computer? Thanks.

There is no direct link. The best way to see if MousePlanet has an image of a particular subject is to follow these steps:

1. Start at Google Image Search (http://www.google.com/imghp?hl=en&ie=UTF-8)
2. Type a description of what you're looking for. Enclose multiple words in quotes.
3. After the description, still in the input box, add site:mouseplanet.com and click the Google Search button.

Some of the images you see may have nothing to do with your search--that's an artifact of the way Google indexes images (by referencing not only the file name, but the surrounding text). Using the above technique with the search term "Columbia", three good photos of the Sailing Ship Columbia were found along with several unrelated images.

Finally, please remember that MousePlanet retains all copyright and ownership of our images. They shouldn't be used, for example, on other Web pages.
