Maritime Museum celebrates tall ships regatta

To celebrate the highly anticipated Funchal 500 Tall Ships Regatta coming to Falmouth, the National Maritime Museum Cornwall is launching a fantastic new exhibition which will take a closer look at some of today's most revered tall ships.

The photographic exhibition features amazing images of the stunning vessels which will be making their way to Falmouth in September - including the work of Max, the world class marine photographer responsible for the picture to the right. The exhibition also explores the background of the Tall Ships’ Races and their role in fostering greater understanding between young people from all over the world. The first ever Tall Ships’ Race took place in 1956 with just 20 ships - the event now often boasts over 100 vessels, with thousands of crew members from as many as 50 different countries. Sail Training International, organisers of The Tall Ships’ Races, were even nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for their activities promoting international friendship and understanding through sail training for young people.

Milly Newman, Exhibitions Development Assistant says: “Everyone at the Maritime Museum is incredibly excited about the Funchal 500 Tall Ships Regatta. It’s set to be a truly spectacular event and we hope this new exhibition will help whet people’s appetites.”

The exhibition opens on 1st July and runs until 26th September.
