Tall Ships

The week after Heather and Miles left there was a big event in Halifax. The so called Tall Ships came into port and made quite a sight. It is an event that only occurs once every three years and we really enjoyed seeing it. They are called tall ships due to their very high masts.  They are most frequently associated with the Tall Ship Races. They were in port for several days and we were able to tour one of them and see many of the other ones. Some were especially beautiful. They came from England, America and Canada. Live music and food vendors were present in abundance.  We really had a great time.

And we must not forget some good proselyting opportunities!!

As the ships left the harbour there was a parade of all the ships.  I only caught a couple but it was a fun thing to see.   There is a true beauty to these grand ole ships!!
