My dear friend, Sue also known as Willow created something wonderful for me using a few of my photos.
Click on this link! when you are there, point your mouse to each of the "floating" filenames and the "slide" of that ship appears. The ships are the Asgard, the Eagle, the Pride of Baltimore Saluting with a canon fire, and a group of ships including the Dar Mlodzeizy and Kaiwo Maru.

Well Done and Many Thanks, Sue!!!
 

Ships Arrive in Halifax July 20, 2000

These pictures are webcam "grabs" from  various webcams in Halifax and Dartmouth and from the CBC Halifax webcam
 

Once in port, the harbourfront was thronged with people and ships, Masts as far as you could see. The following pictures  were taken by me along the waterfront.
 

Crowds along the Halifax Waterfront	Rigging of one of the Class A Vessels
Libertad, Argentina and Class A ships behind	Figurehead of the Amerigo Vespucci, Italy
Sailors repairing sails atop the Mir (Russia)	Right! Sailors! The Esmerelda from Chile
That's me in front of the Europa (Netherlands)	The Europa and the Oosterschelde, Both from  The Netherlands

Then, Monday, July 24 the ships left, and again, thousands found a spot along the Halifax and Dartmouth Waterfronts to watch the Parade of Sail.  I found a hidey hole at the top of an emergency staircase out of a pedway between two towers down on the waterfront. I only had to share it with about a half dozen people. It was PERFECT for picture taking! Some of the ships are heading on the last leg of the race to Amsterdam and others are continuing to tour around various ports.

Here's a link to my Cousin Stuart's Tall Ships pictures. From a different angle on the other side of the harbour, low on graphic overhead and very nice indeed! :)

Here are some links from Tall Ships 2000 sites around the world.
 

Halifax, Canada

Amsterdam, The Netherlands  This is a very good site!

• English version
• Dutch  version
• Photo Album Currently showing Sail 1995 tall ships
• Each language version has a section with info and links on the ships, and there are links to photos of ships off the Dutch site that aren't on the English site and vice versa. In the upper right, click on the link that says "Participants" or "Deelnemer" with the little ship icon beside it. Once there, click on the link that says "Tall Ships" (both language versions)
