Do you recognize this ship?

Hi Doug, correct answer, very quick, there wasn't time for anyone else.

I'm glad you liked Puglia.
The tip of this region is called Salento. Ostuni is right in Salento. Salento administratively corresponds to the province of Lecce (in the photos I took recently you can see the Piazza del Duomo), famous for its Lecce Baroque architecture.
Gargano and Salento are the most beautiful seaside areas in Puglia and among the most beautiful in Italy.
In my opinion, Sardinia comes first, surpassing all the others.

Do you recognize this ship?

A 'no brainer' for me Alessandro😉
Worked on several COMMS projects with the Algerian Navy, including Patrol Boats, Corvettes, MEKO Frigates, LPD, Shore Stations. Was often in Algiers and Oran/Mers El Kébir.
(The latter being the scene of the infamous bombardment of the French Fleet by the RN in WW2.)
It is the Algerian Sail Training ship El-Mellah.
Built in Poland, fitted with a Controllable Pitch Propeller and two side thrusters.
Cheers, Doug😎
PS Pre Covid Gisela and I had a very enjoyable holiday in Puglia near Ostuni.
We rented a small villa on the coast at Marina di Ostuni. Happy memories😀
Young at heart 😉 Slightly older in other places.😊 Cheers Doug

A little help: it's currently located in Puglia (a region in the southeastern part of the Italian peninsula, the heel of the boot).
