I have talked before about the second or first largest sail training Tall Ship in the world? It is called the Kruzenshtern. The Russian Class A Tall Ship that is sailing in The Tall Ships Race called The North Sea Sailing Race as we read at this moment…
The race goes from the start in Antwerp, Belgium, to end in Aalborg in Denmark. The event lasts from 10-13 of July to 21-24 of July.
Russia has what is considered one of the premier Tall Ships and is very proud of the Kruzenshtern. Below is a link to a previous post about this ship.

I really believe that this is one of the greatest things that we can do for young people and the day we stop events like this we have lost a real part of our heritage. We need more ties to the past and they way things were done from the days ago…
The world has become too dependent on electronics…

We had a three tall ships in Tampa this past week; the U.S. Coast Guard Eagle, the Capitan Miranda from Uruguay, and the Gloria from Colombia.

Something very special about seeing those tall ships really moves your soul.
I agree and sometimes I wish that I was young again, because I would leap at the opportunity to train on a ship like that. That would have been great to go see in Tampa.
Thanks for the link and that is why the comment was delayed in showing up. The spam filter stops all links…
