Saw this today, could not get a good angle for a good shot. Part of it was blocked off. Plus most of the ports are secure areas. It was interesting, don't see sailing ships this size. It's the 3rd largest "tall ship' in the world.

Looks like a couple of good angles and a couple of good shots to me!
Super cool. It's a training ship for the Spanish navy according to good ole Wikipedia 
3rd largest Tall ship in the world.
3rd largest Tall ship in the world.
There is a Tall Ships tour that comes around every couple of years. Multiple schooners from various countries. Looks like the only 2023 US stop is in Boothbay Harbor, Maine June 25 to July 1. I got to see them several years ago in Charleston Harbor
The James Craig comes to mind. We were witnesses to her restoration, growing up — Tall Ship: James Craig 1874 - Australian National Maritime Museum. Big ordeal, one of only four remaining. A beauty!

I remember the tall ships flotilla during the sesquicentennial back in 1976. It was magnificent.
I remember watching that on TV back then. There were a lot of great bicentennial celebrations in '76, but that one stood out.
I saw the Freedom train 3 times in '76. Two times in Sacramento and once in Pa. There were a lot of cool things going on for sure. I could swear the King Tut tour was about then too. Both were neat as hell to a pre teen.
I also saw the USCG Eagle in Savannah several years ago. We were able to walk around on it. Beautiful ship. Nicer than the Elcano I listed above.
I must go down to the seas again,
to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking.

Originally a German ship, it was captured during the war and repurposed as the USCG training ship.
