The romance and reality of Tallships.
For over five thousand years sailing ships provided the most economic and efficient means of carrying people and cargoes, culminating in the Clipper Tallships racing across the worlds oceans. But steam power heralded their demise and by the 1950’s they had all but disappeared.
Some survived and have led to a revival of these magnificent vessels and embraces their maritime heritage.
