KruzershternBarqueVancouver

Ivan Fedorovich Kruzerstern – the man and a steamboat. Well, not exactly a steam boat, but this is a way I memorized this name watching Russian cartoons :-) Anyway, we had a pleasure to observe this wonderful Russian four masted barque, parked in North Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
