Operation Sail: The Tall Ships of the World Still Gather...
‘World peace through world trade is the purpose behind OpSail,"
I am sorry I did not know this organization existed until now...
The sight of the world’s remaining Tall Masted Ships sailing into New York Harbor with their national flags proudly in the winds is a scene that STICKS with you!!! I also found out the US and British Navies still train sailors to operate these magnificent old sea-birds.
Take a look Here.
The oceans do not divide us, they unite us all. We are all seamen on spaceship Earth.
Frank O. Braynard General Manager, Operation Sail 1976
