***About Tall Ships:

*** Tall ships are a specific type of large, traditionally-rigged sailing vessels. They include a variety of ships such as barques, brigs, and schooners, which played crucial roles in historical naval, exploration, and trade missions. These ships are celebrated for their beauty and complexity and often appear at tall ship gatherings and festivals around the world. Their sails and riggings are particularly intricate, requiring skilled sailors to manage them. Today, they are mostly used for educational purposes, offering a glimpse into the maritime heritage that shaped much of the world's economy and culture in the 18th and 19th centuries.
