Bad news and good news. The Tacoma Tall Ships Organization is no more and the hoped for Tacoma Tall Ships Festival in 2011 will not be happening, a victim of the recession. On the other side of the globe, however, the Australian Wooden Boat Festival on Hobart’s historic Sullivan’s Cove waterfront is on its way in February 2011, and this year it will be free!
Tacoma Tall Ships Festival sunk by recession
Tasmania’s Wooden Boat Festival free next year
Thanks to Alaric Bond for passing on the information about the Australian Wooden Boat Festival
