Tall Ships Newport
1 review for Tall Ships Newport
The wharves reek of dead lobster or something similarly unholy, but if you can get over the stench, the annual Tall Ships Festival is really something to behold. Imagine the Black Pearl except bigger and right there in front of you. The best-named ship was the Gorch Fock II (from Germany), but the Brazilian Cisne Branco had the cutest crew. Exploring the ships requires some ladder and gangway climbing - nothing strenuous, but leave the heels at home.
Don't miss the international tents, with free samples and swag: This year we got Gouda from Holland, gummi bears from Germany, a variety of sweets from India, a DVD(!) from Indonesia... There were free performances (we watched women in aprons dancing with rolling pins. huh?). Costumed pirates and wenches also roamed the wharves with pistols and swords. Kitschy but super-fun.
