1986 "The Tall Ships: Operation Sail" Official Book

I have for sale "The Offical Book Of Operation Sail, 1986" by Charles
Flowers.

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
