God I LOVE tall ships.
Sitting in my study here I look a the walls and have 5 large and several small tall ship pictures...
Almost never see 'em in this part of the world anymore. Europe and then the USA is the place to be for that I guess.

...and then the Winged Hussars arrived.

I have seen those tall ships very close a few times.
2007 I was working on a tug boat, and we were towing them in and out  to port of Kotka and port of Helsinki.
Some of them were a bit difficult to pull, because they were so fragile.
And that big Russian "Sedov" (117 m, in the last pick) had bigger engine and more bollard pull than our tug boat!

You should have got them to stack the I beams up to make the trailer more rigid.
And put a sheet of half inch ply behind the cab in case they slide forward.

We belly chain with (5 chains and ratchets) the beams to stop forward movement and we have reinforced head boards should they move. It's safety first with this stuff, @Irish in Oz, it will kill you quicker than Corona Virus  :devil:

Back in 1983 I was working on the construction of ships similar to that, large bulk carriers and LPG, and even little cross channel ferries.
