Morning Star Photos: from HALIFAX - also Boston and Amsterdam

 

Monday 24th July, ready to leave Halifax in glorious sunshine and a light breeze:

The point of no
return!

Morning Star sets off for Amsterdam.

It is estimated there were nearly 500,000 people lining the Halifax and Dartmouth sides of the Harbour to see them off.

 

The crew of Morning Star waving energetically to the crowds in Halifax during the parade of sail.

42 ships set off for this final leg of the race.

Next stop Amsterdam, 3500 miles away, but the start was to be slow with a huge High Pressure in the way!
