Tall Ship Festival 2013

"Tall Ship Festival 2013"

The Tall Ship Festival is being run by the Auckland Maritime Museum over four days. Most of the festival is about giving the general public a chance to look through the boats themselves.

30th October 2013

There was one ship left moored next to The Hilton on two days after the festival had officially finished, so I took these photos from the Bayswater Ferry.

28th October 2013

I took these photos on the last day of the Tall Ship Festival, when the ships were officially leaving the central city just after midday. I took them from the waterfront in Devonport.

27th October 2013

I took these photos on the second day the ships were open for the public in the central city in Auckland. Some were moored next to The Cloud and the others down both sides of the wharf with the Hilton hotel and apartments on it.

25th October 2013

Today was the first day of the festival and the main event was the ships sailing into the Auckland port. Unfortunately there was a very, very strong wind and most of the boats didn’t have their sails up or didn’t have them all up. I took these photos on North Head in Devonport.
