All manner of maritime vessels have come under their keen eye, and there can be none so awe-inspiring as their views of the "Tall Ships", many of which still grace the seas with their majestic beauty. This volume represents one hundred of their finest "Tall Ship" pictures, taken in such locations as Hawaii, the USA, Canada, the Caribbean, Germany, the Mediterranean and Russia, and, of course, in the Solent. The term "Tall Ships" conjures up images of the square-rigged vessels of the 18th and 19th centuries the tea Clippers and Cape Horners that battled their way around the world carrying precious cargoes however the term now encompasses cadet training ships as well as the big luxury charter yachts of today. In recent years many "Tall Ships" have been purpose built as training ships and since 1956, when the first "Tall Ships" race was held from Torbay to Lisbon in Portugal by the Sail Training Association of Great Britain, Sail Training events have been held regularly all over the world.
