Welcome to my Tall Ships 2000 page. These are photos of the Halifax stay of the race taken by Brenda Matthews during our visit to Halifax for a friends wedding. You can jump below to see individual ships or you can take the full tour and join us as we walk along the water front clicking photos as we go. (hint: the really big ships are last)
You can also visit the Official Tall Ships 2000 Page, or keep up on breaking news on the journey across the Atlantic at The Halifax Herald Online. You really should take a look at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantics Homepage and if you can't identify a boat try their Tall Ships Identi-Kit.
