Tall ship “Sagres”

Philadelphia hosted the Tall Ships America parade of sailing ships in June 2015. The “Sagres” sailed up the Delaware to its Penn’s Landing berth, with the public being invited onboard. The 3 masted barque is 292’ in length and is a classic windjammer. It has served for the past 52 years as the Portuguese navy training ship. It was launched in German shipyards in 1936, and has been modernized with the latest navigational equipment. It was exciting for the crowd as the sailors winched up the sails and she headed out to New York City for the 4^th of July celebration. I made a tall ships program integrating my still images with video. I have pictures and the making of detailed sailing ship models in my “Creative Digital Photography” book, Volume II.
