Tall Ships Sailing across Atlantic

Few things inspire awe like a tall ship under full sail, unless of course it's several tall ships under full sail at the same time. Pick your hyperbole - jaw-dropping, gobsmacking, totally and truly awesome - seeing that much classic canvas just does something to the blood. Once again this year, the tall ships are giving people in ports around the world a spectacle that has only rarely existed in the last century: The sea filled with big, beautiful sailing ships.

Tall Ships from Europe, North and South America sailed out from Vigo, Spain last month, competing in a sailing race called the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge. The ships are now sailing on leg two of their adventure, part of a 7,000 mile odyssey around the North Atlantic, where the ships and their hundreds of hardy crew members will visit seven ports in five countries along the way.
