The WhyNotSmile Tall Ships Belfast 2009 Photo Souvenir Special

Without further ado:

The Bounty docked opposite The Odyssey (Wednesday afternoon).

The Bounty is a replica boat built for the film Mutiny on The Bounty in 1960, and has been in other films since then, including Pirates of the Caribbean.







The Europa (Netherlands) arriving in Belfast on Wednesday afternoon.

If you look closely, you can see someone standing near the top of the middle mast (about an inch below the European flag) (an inch on the photo, not in reality).







The Tecla (from the Netherlands) arriving in Belfast on Wednesday afternoon.

You can't see this in the photo, but the crew were dancing and singing 'La Bamba', which was nice.









The Europa docked next to The Odyssey, with lots of people (Thursday morning).


















Capitan Miranda (Uruguay) and Cisne Branco (Brazil) in front of the fairground.












The prow of The Atlantis (Netherlands) looking over Belfast Lough with the Harland and Wolff cranes in the background.











Me on board The Sagres (Portugal).
