We had previously posted about the fleet of sailing ships visiting Toronto as part of the Great Lakes United TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE, coordinated by the American Sail Training Association (ASTA) across all five Great Lakes. The fleet has now moved on to Cleveland, Ohio. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend the Cleveland Tall Ships Festival. The festival starts today and will continue through Sunday.
The 160,000-ton Freedom Of the seas owned by Florida-based Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited is the tallest and largest CRUISE ship in the world.
