William Brand Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 The subject of 'tall ships' comes up from time to time, along with such questions as 'Where is it docked now?" and "Is it open to the public?" or even "What became of that one replica ship?". To that end we're starting this comprehensive list. This is a place holder for the links and information for any and all tall ships that we can find. Feel free to share facts about some of your favorites and we'll add them here.
