(click on the thumbnails to view larger pictures)    Akogare is an A-class topsail schooner based in Japan. Shown here during the sailpast, she is just passing the reviewing ship. Another view of Akogare, as she passes George's Island in Halifax Harbour. A broadside view of Akogare. Shown here at the wharf, Amerigo Vespucci is an A-class full rigged ship from Italy. She had probably the most ornate decorations of any of the Tall Ships in Halifax.  Amerigo Vespucci leaves the wharf before participating in the sailpast. Amerigo Vespucci proceeds up the north side of the harbour. Amerigo Vespucci, with the Canadian ships Fair Jeanne and Highlander Sea in the background, approaches the review ship.
