***About Tall Ships:

*** Tall ships, like the one featured in the image, refer to large, traditionally-rigged sailing vessels. This style of ship was predominant before the advent of steam-powered vessels in the 19th century. Often associated with the golden age of sail, these ships traversed oceans for trade, transportation, and exploration. Surviving examples of tall ships are now often used as museum ships or training vessels. They symbolize human ingenuity and the romance of the high seas, often participating in international tall ship gatherings and races which promote goodwill and maritime heritage.
