That Mexican tall ship coming into Dublin?
The Mexicans are coming, the Mexicans are coming!!
We are The Mexicans
…at least according to our Northern brothers.
Couple of Tall Ship/Maritime festivals on around the country in the news few weeks, Drogheda next weekend I believe not sure where this week though.
One of the largest tall ships in the world set to arrive in Dubin from Argintinia. Could be it.

Look a bit closer and count the masts. The hull is a different colour too.
No it’s an old timey boat, must be the same one!
Both gorgeous vessels tho!

Not a ship unfortunately, it’s a brig.
The lesser of two weavels.
Probably out looking for prizes, Stena Line had better watch out!
You dumb bastard. It’s not a schooner… it’s a sailboat!!
YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY! OVER THERE THAT’S JUST A GUY IN A SUIT!
It’s the brig Morgenster which is a sail training ship. Looking particularly lovely under a light sail load (was making about 0.5 kts as it passed Balbriggan earlier, according to MarineTraffic.

Look at you mister fancy view
Ahh…the ol’ walk a bit closer trick!
tried and tested :)
Point of order, it’s a common misconception that pirates would sial square riggers. They actually prefered schooners or gaff rigged boats as these were faster and more agile. Not much has changed today if you look at the likes of the Somali Pirates.
I kind of like that there are still sea pirates.
You’re all wrong.
It’s clearly One-Eyed Willie.
