When Tenacious Came to Town


I was lucky enough to be invited on the Lady Nelson to sail out to meet the Tenacious which is the largest operational wooden tallship in the world.


The Windeward Bound joined us


We found the Tenacious at anchor waiting for us to escort her back up the river.





The white tallship is called the Rhona H and she is about 16 metres long as is the Lady Nelson.


























The pilot boat comes to assist her into harbour.









Even the Tenacious is dwarfed by a cruise ship.




At the end of the day the sails have to be packed away. My husband is top left.
