Thank You Brendan. Not to many real tall-ships posted to this group
anymore. I resort to the internet and torrent files mostly nowadays.

My thanks too Brendan. Intersting to me that your pics are of Europa
in Ireland (had to google River Suir), whereas I saw here here in
Canada last year. Kinda wonder about crossing the Atlantic in one of
these. Although in days gone by, it was the only way.

One comment, I would really like to see dates and better locations (so
I don't have to google) with the pics.

Thanks, Steve

Apologies for being so late coming back to you.

The occasion was the gathering of the Tall Ships 2011 at Waterford, Ireland.

I was in Waterford for two days only and had to return to Belfast, Northern
Ireland, before the festivities officially opened. Consequently I did not
have the opportunity to photograph all the ships.
The photos are of the early arrivals only and are taken at various places on
the River Suir estuary on the approach toWaterford. I trust the attached
will make everything clear.

Regards,
Brendan
