The Ocean State. One of Rhode Island's nicknames. It is significant as it means that we know something about the shore and sailing. That means that we also know something about nautical decor. 

If you are going to pick something to hang in your window to enhance your nautical decor, make it authentic. What we are viewing in the depiction below is not a mere set of boats. 

One ship is a schooner; a vessel that sailed these waters delivering cargo. This is what delivered coal, lumber, and general goods from port to cove along this coast and many others. Schooner 3D Ornament - Made From RI

The other ship is a "tall ship". To name it by its rig, it is a "barque". These are for longer journeys and often oceanic voyages carrying cargo and passengers. Tall Ship Ornament - Made From RI

Both bring thoughts of voyages and a time at sea. They are perfect for the window in your home. And if you take a glance, they will transport you to another time and place. Can you feel the ocean spray coming off the bows? See these and more at Made From RI.
