Click on tall ships slide show for slides of Sail Amsterdam, a tall ships festival which will be going on through Monday. They’re spectacular.
Click on tall ships photo gallery for photos of Sail Amsterdam.
The first Sail Amsterdam was held in 1975, to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the founding of the city. But it was so much fun that the Dutch decided to hold one every five years.
