Marine / Video shows ‘Jack Sparrow’ climbing to top of tall ship sails
SHETLAND’s own Captain Jack Sparrow scaled the heights of a tall ship in Lerwick yesterday (Thursday) – with selfie video footage showing off the spectacular surroundings.
Balazs Onhausz dressed up as the film character to climb the sails of the Norwegian ship Restauration in the town centre.
The artist, who also put up paintings of sea-themed characters at the entrance of Victoria Pier, said he had permission to scale the boat, which is not part of the official list of Tall Ships Races vessels.
He has history in reaching heights, with his Spiderman stunt on the top of an oil rig in Lerwick for decommissioning in 2017 hitting the headlines.
