One of the all-time greatest Olympic athletes ever:
 Maybe not so well-known, but it's definitely impactful, IMO. A bunch of warriors posing for a photo before they went to kill themselves for their country in a futile and delusional attempt to stave off eventual defeat.

 If we're just posting cool pics... This is my wallpaper, good for motivation. This crew is simply doing their job. The photographer was likely hanging from a bowsprit forestay. The end of the sailing era, probably early 1920s. |

My step Dad has all kinds of historic pics in his house and he posted a photo of the Cutty Sark on his bar. I just assumed Cuttysark was a liquor brand. Smirnoff was his preferred vodka while my Dad preferred Swedish vodka like Skyy and my Grandfather preferred Whiskey from Scotland  Attached File |

We were more along the lines of looking up to Dan Gable. Karelin is a badass though. The big question is...How many Arfcomers can say they have had their asses kicked multiple times by one of the current members of the House ??? The Jordan brothers pretty much dominated my area growing up. I think my record against both is like 0-30....  |

None were ever lost as a result of hull or rig failure. Sure, fire, grounding, collision, all took their toll, but none failed like older wooden ones occasionally did. |
