The Tall Ships race started today from Liverpool as part of Liverpool’s celebrations for being the Capital of Culture 2008.

This photograph was taken on Saturday when we went over to Liverpool to visit the Tall Ships in Albert Dock.

The Tall Ships last visited Liverpool in 1984 and 1992, so it’s been 16 years since they were last here. Wow that makes me feel old!

So I was really pleased when I saw that they were coming this year, and made sure that I went to see the Parade of Sail that happened today.

It’s the first time I’d seen it, and it was an impressive sight seeing all the ships sailing down the River Mersey.
