THE TALL SHIPS VISIT FALMOUTH


11 SEPTEMBER 2008

 

This morning I went down into Falmouth to take a look at the Tall Ships.

From 10th - 13th September 2008 Falmouth will be the host port for the Funchal 500 Tall Ships Regatta. The Regatta is organised by Sail Training International and is the centrepiece of year-long celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the first settlement on the Portuguese island of Madeira.

A fleet of some 25 Tall Ships will gather (10 - 13 September) in Falmouth before racing to Ilhavo, Portugal (20 - 23 September) for more celebrations. On 23rd September they race once again to Funchal, Madeira for a Maritime Festival and major celebrations in the city (2 - 5 October).

The large square-rigged vessels will be berthed at Queen’s Wharf in Falmouth Docks and are open to the public from Wednesday 10th September to Friday 12th September.

Here are some of the photos I took.
