#67 - Essential India, Legendary Seacloud & the 55TH WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Hi,

If you entered the Epic Mediterranean Cruise Promotion last month and  you are newly subscribed, a big welcome to Wildiaries. We specialise in nature-based travel and stories about wildlife and experiences.  

Congratulations to K Harvey of Tighes Hill NSW who won the prize and will be travelling care of Viking Cruises and our partners. 

This month we've teamed up with deluxeLife to bring you some great stories, the chance to win Antler Luggage worth $1,070; and

We're also delighted to show you some highly commended photos from this year's Natural History Museum Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition judged by Wildiaries regular Juergen Freund and fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers. In its 55th year, the competition received a staggering 50,000 entries from 100 countries! 

Also, we have some articles to enjoy. Tim Grey travels in Rajasthan and we introduce you to SeaCloud, a legendary ship that was once pirated by a 26-year-old women, has served in world wars and housed both billionaires and dictators! Find out how you could join it or one of its more modern sister ships taking tourists on romantic yesteryear voyages through the Caribbean and Mediterranean.  

As always, thanks for reading. 

Best wishes,

Signature

Simon Mustoe
Founder, Wildiaries

Luxurious family yacht, floating diplomatic palace, war vessel in the service of the U.S. Navy –the vita of the Sea Cloud is more fascinating to read than many novels.

In 1931, the Wall Street broker Edward Francis Hutton had the legendary windjammer built in Kiel calling her “Hussar”. But it was his wife, the extravagant Marjorie Merriweather Post, who gave the tall ship her distinctive character ...
