Tall Ships Gallery: Toronto 2010
Tall Ships Gallery is a collection of photos from the Toronto Waterfront Festival Sail Past 2010. This ship, Appledore V, was one of the smaller ships on display. Its beautiful lines make up for anything it lacks in size, however.
Another American visitor, the elegant 'Denis Sullivan'.
Kajama, shown here, is a Toronto based sailing vessel that can be hired for cruises,
The Unicorn was crewed by the Sisters Under Sail, an American sail training school for young women.
Roseway was the most distinctive ship in the Torto Waterfront Festival with its pinkish-brown sails and dark hull.
The Roald Amundsen, far right in the photo to the right, was visiting from Germany, though it's named after a Norwegian explorer. The ship following is the Europa, which is shown closer up lower down the page.
This is the 'Pride of Baltimore II' and a beautifully turned out vessel indeed.
One of my two favorite ships at the Festival is this one, Niagara, a replica of a real 1812 US warship. The replica looks authentic with its simple, spartan, lines and accommodation for the crew. Niagara was built to patrol the Great Lakes and didn't need to have much space for carrying men and their necessary food and water across oceans and far from land.
My other favourite is this one. Another replica, this time of HMS Bounty of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' fame. The original Bounty was built in the late 1700's and, like Niagara, shows the less than perfect lines of ships built before modern techniques and tools began to change the appearance of sailing ships.
The largest ship in the 2010

Waterfront Festival was this one, Europa, visiting from Holland.
