El Galeón de Sevilla - a "recreation" of a 16th century Spanish galleon, rather than a replica of any particular ship - absolutely fantastic and fascinating!

My favourite was Draken Harald HÃ¥rfagre, another recreation, this one of a Viking longship. It sailed from the west coast of Norway via Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland and up the St Lawrence to get to the Toronto Harbourfront Festival.

We spent an excellent day out on Saturday wandering around the tall ships; there's a flotilla travelling all around the Great Lakes this summer...

Sounds like a great festival. Amazing that enthusiasts can now reconstruct full scale (or near full scale) replicas of these historic craft. It must be a labour of love.

Some of the boats sailed across the North Atlantic in April. We sailed that route at the end of May on the QM2...we hit gale force 10 for over 2 days. Goodness knows what it must be like sailing the same waters in the replica ships.

Would love to do an Atlantic crossing (save for the gale force 10!). I don't have a bucket list, maybe I should start one (but call it something else). It would be a bit scary in a replica craft.

Interesting structure. Is it a ship or sculpture? In any case, a subject within a sunset pic neutralises the sunset cliche. Is that the moon on the right or a lens flare?

A beautiful steel sculpture- I wondered that when I looked at it. I would like to say the moon but it was a flare- it was taken with my phone

I always find it amusing that the Vikings discovered Canada, but then decided (eventually) to move back.
