Hi Mary Alice, this is the Amerigo Vespucci, sailing out from the Dutch coast. It had been in Amsterdam for the Amsterdam Sail event (the world's largest sailboat event). It was quite an amazing sight to see these tall ships leave and go their separate ways.

Kind regards, Justin

Mais tu étais en mer pour faire cette photo !

Oui Michel, j'étais sur un autre bateau pour faire cette photo. On a fait des circles autour tous les bateaux qui quittaient le port, c'était extraordinaire!

Amitiés, Justin

Her sails are set fair and she's a pretty sight.

"The Tall Ships" is a must see event. I am hoping to see them back in the UK, hopefully on the Tyne ;>)

Nice photo.

Thanks Jim and Steve for your comments!

Indeed, these tall ships are a must see, Jim, it's spectacular. I'm not sure, but I think the "Amsterdam Sail" event is the largest one of its kind in the world (held every 5 years). It's really a great event.

I hope you do get to see these sometime Down Under, Steve!
