The first of the fleet of tall ships en route to Fremantle arrived at Fremantle port at around 9pm last night.
A few of the Leeuwin volunteer crew visited the wharf to watch the English ship Lord Nelson sail in on its first visit to Oz, and berth at C Shed last night, where it now neighbours our own majestic ship Leeuwin II.
Lord Nelson, run by the Jubilee Sailing Trust, focuses on providing sail training opportunities for people of all abilities. The stop in Fremantle is part of its around the world voyage. This is the first time that an accessible tall ship has undertaken such a journey.
The Lord Nelson will remain berthed at C shed until mid next week where it will go into dry dock for refit before the next leg of its voyage from Fremantle to Adelaide.
For those of you who aren't in the area to come down and admire the view, here's a few snapshots we got this morning. Enjoy!
