Tall
Ships in HalifaxHalifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, the second largest harbour in the World, will be the place to be from July 20 to 24, 2000. To celebrate the new century, the International Sail Training Association (ISTA), in conjunction with the American Sail Training Association (ASTA), will be organizing Tall Ships 2000, a major race for square-rigged and other sail training vessels. A perfect time to visit Halifax, why not check out the Tall Ships 2000 - Halifax site for more information on the events planned.
The race which commences in the spring of 2000 will start from Southhampton, England and will involve seven ports of call and two Atlantic crossings. The vessels, crewed by young people, will circumnavigate the Atlantic clockwise. Halifax will be the last stop before the return crossing of the Atlantic to finish in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is anticipated that more than 150 tall ships will call into Halifax during the event.
Keep checking back for more information and links to this event and to check on other future visitors to Halifax. Below are some tall ships that have made recent port calls in Halifax.
