A little odd that the Loth Loriën, although pretty enough in her way, is nothing like as stunning a little ship as the J.R. Tolkien, which I think just has THE most gorgeous lines. Wow.
ETA Apparently the JR Tolkien was built in 1964 as a diesel electric tug called Dierkow, and it was only in 1995 that she was renamed and given sails. Can only applaud the transformation. http://www.classic-sailing.co.uk/vessels/j-r-tolkien
