The edition contains 128 pages including 99 photographs, 76 of them in full color, the book provides a permanent and official record of Operation Sail 1986. Back Cover Excerpt: "The parade of Tall Ships on July 4, 1986, was the greatest armada ever assembled-an awsome homage to a great nation. From the air, one could see some 40,000 boats, but from sea level the view was more like a marine painting by J.M.W. Turner, as the grand old vessels made their stately progress through the sun-spangled mist thrown up by the fire boats. On;ly 30-odd Tall Ships remain today, stirring relics of the great age of sail, and 23 of them arrived for this occasion, some having crossed all the way from Indonesia and Oman..Hre is the only book devoted entirely to a parade that lingers in the mind's eye as the most colorful and dignified event of the decade." "The Offical Book Of Operation Sail, 1986" is in MINT condition. Price $25. US plus postage Please include your "postal mailing address" so I can calculate postage costs to your destination.
