3 masts sailing on the Garonne

This rare Mexican 3 masts was passing by, just got time to run across the parking lot in front of our office, 1Ds2 + 70-200 IS.

Very nice. They sure have a lot of crew members. What kind of festivity was it?

Hi Bart
Well, honestly more interesting shot than nice;-)

they were leaving after the "Fête du Fleuve" (River Fair) in Bordeaux

Hi Nicolas,

Was it not a Mexican three master (the Cuauhtemoc)? In any case, not a Brazilian one if I know my flags well

Cheers,

Of course Cem you're right it IS Mexican!

If I were dishonest, I would say this was to check everyone attention;-)

I guess it´s on its way to Stockholm....

July 27, the international Tall Ships Race visits Stockholm, and we look forward to seeing a lot of these large sailing ships in our archipelago, as well as along the quays in central Stockholm.

Last time they were in Stockholm was, I think, about 5 - 6 years ago, and I remember the Cuauhtemoc was here (I have some pictures from then), and got its fair share of public attention; it is a beautiful ship indeed!

Really look forward to seeing it again.
