Hello Ron, I understand from a relative who worked for the Harbourmaster, that they put canvas screens around it to shield the buildings, and used it for filming.

Ron, if that is the same Nonsuch, it was a replica of a famous 1700s one. Also judging by the car in the background, it is more likely to have been taken between 1968 when it was launched and 1970 when it was taken to Canada, and now resides in a museum in Montreal. Try googling Nonsuch Montreal.

To Jeremy Homeward: Quite right Jeremy. I went to "thenonsuch montreal" website and compared the pictures. There is no doubt it is the same ship. Many thanks. You've put some flesh on the bones. I guess you are right about the date, longer ago than I thought. Blame my ageing brain cell. Best wishes.
