Barque Europa
Tall Ships Duluth 2010 has an impressive line up of ships scheduled for their tall ships festival. The ships are expected to start arriving in Duluth today. The Brig Niagara, the Barque Europa, HMS Bounty, the Pride of Baltimore II, the Roald Amundsen, the schooner Zeeto, the S/V Denis Sullivan, and the schooner Roseway will sail in a “Grand Parade of Ships” on Thursday afternoon with the tall ships festival getting into full swing Friday through Sunday.
Great to see all these Tall Ships gathering, very much hope they are in Waterford, Ireland next year. As too HMS Bounty I just had an e-mail from my former shipmate Tom Christian MBE and his wife Betty on Pitcairn Island. Their family continues to increase in this generation. Another grandson Dylan Thomas Christian McIntyre was born on June 03, 2010, Welsh, Scots and Pitcairn with that name. Welcome aboard and
Good Watch.
Lots of Tall Ships gathering this summer. We will be posting about more festivals soon.
Good to here that the Christian family is doing well. Best wishes to Thomas Christian McIntyre. That is a great name.

Glad you have had a fine festival, we have a year to wait before the ships gather in Glasgow and I set off to film them.
