Timed with Canada's 150th year, the 2017 Tall Ships Regatta has seen increased traffic of large sailing vessels in Halifax. The main festival in Halifax will occur between July 29 and August 1st.
The first of the season to visit was Italy's Amerigo Vespucci, which put in at Pier 20.

Next came Wylde Swan around June 15.
On June 27th, The Chilean Navy's sail training vessel Esmeralda arrived, and initially went to anchor across from HMC Dockyard.
On Thursday Esmeralda moved to Pier 20, and was open for tours on Friday, at which time I took the kids over for a look.
I look forward to seeing more classic sailing vessels visit Halifax over the next month or so.
