BREST2008__INVINCIBLE ARMADA

2008.07.21
the public was for this remarkable spectacle...all along the coast.

above st Anne of Portzic, superb views on the outskirts of Brest where spend all boats...
Vue sur le goulet à la sortie de Brest, où passent tous les bateaux..

9AM...

the boats are leaving the harbourg..

1000 boats are racing to Douarnenez, south of Britanny.


10 AM...






12 AM...! The Kruzenshtern (Russian: Барк «Крузенштерн») is a Russian four masted barque and tall ship that was built in 1926 in Bremerhaven-Wesermünde, Germany, as shipyard number "S408" under the name Padua (named after the eponymous Italian city). She was given to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation and renamed after the Russian navigator and explorer Adam Johann von Krusenstern (1770-1846). The Kruzenshtern is one of the four remaining Flying P-Liners and still in use, mainly for training purposes, with her homeport in Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg). After the Sedov she is the largest traditional sailing vessel still in operation. Originally, like all P-liners, she was painted black (hull above water, topsides), white (waterline area) and red (underwater body) according to the colours of the national German flag of that time.

appointment to 2012!

miclaud Un très beau spectacle. Je ne l'ai vu qu'à la TV. Mes compatriotes de Martinique ont participé à cette exhibition avec deux yoles. Ils ont eu du succès apparemment!
