A tall ship in Belfast Maritime Festival



The organizers of the inaugural Belfast Maritime Festival over the weekend of July 1 and 2 – the largest event of its kind staged in the city since the visit of the Tall Ships Race in 1991 are celebrating eight of the world’s most spectacular ships.

The Jeanie Johnston (in the picture above) will make an appearance - the replica ship tells the story of the Great Famine which swept Ireland in the middle of the 19th century.

They were certainly spectaculr. We got on board the Zebu ... huge wooden vessel, but with cramped conditions down below.

A fun day out.
