The Tall Ships are coming...

The Tall Ships website is the place to look for anything you need to know about Hartlepool's biggest event in 2010!
Just over 25 weeks to go the 7th August 2010 when at least 75 ships will be arriving to Hartlepool from Kristiansand (Norway) on the last leg of the Tall Ships Race.

There will be a massive array of events between 7th and 10th when many of the ships will depart for Amsterdam on a North Sea Regatta.

Once people have visited Hartlepool during these few days, they will fall in love with the amazing facelift the town has had over the last 20 years.

It should be a great photo opportunity.

The excitement builds! I got to see them once as they left New York. I was on Miami Beach and saw their masts first. Very impressive, kind of makes you all misty eyed. I loved reading stories that had sailing ships when I was a kid; Howard Pile, Mead Schaeffer and N.C. Wyeth were my heroes. (I was a strange girl!)

Bonjour Krimo,

Pour les habitants, les commerces, voilà de bonnes affaires en perspective !

You're right, Pat. I'm sure my camera will be working double time.

L, sailing ships never fail to stir the adventurer in me. And I'm not strange...

Oui, de bonnes affaires mais aussi une occasion pour les visiteurs de decouvrir Hartlepool et de revenir apres le passage des voiliers.
