One of the smaller tall ships sailed into London - Canary Wharf last week. I'm old enough to remember when london had a lot of maritime activity so it was a nostalgic sight for me. I also attended the London Nautical School (11-18), guess I've always been fascinated bt the sea even though I didn't make it my career

I agree OldF the East Indiaman Götheborg is a very nice ship even though its a replica. I also like the Mexican Cuauhtémoc, a very nice looking ship.
If I'm not mistaken the blue and white ship is Mir. I recognized it but at first I didn't remember the name of it.

I've been to Tall Ships race once, about 10 years ago when it visited Stockholm, I have also visited the event called Sail XYZ (name of port) in Stockholm in 2000.

Yes, it’s MIR.

The Tall Ship Race visited Helsinki 13 years ago so now I decided to go because not knowing when the next visit will be.

Just when we arrived Götheborg made a cannon-shooting presentation.
