Tall Ships Valparaiso: Velas Sudamerica 2010
Last week Velas Sudamerica 2010, the event that marks the 200th year anniversary of the first national government in South-America, a time that opened the way to independency in South-America, made a port call in Valparaiso Harbour.
Acording to Chilean Navy, more than 270 thousand people visited the 11 ships moored at Valparaiso bay, sharing with the crew of each ship from Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, España, Holanda, México, Portugal, Uruguay y Venezuela, and also Chile.
My friend Thad Koza sent me this beautiful images from the event. Thad Koza is the author of Tall Ships: The Fleet for the 21st Century, now on it’s 5th edition.
