Tall Ships Sailing into Toronto

Toronto will be the only host for the
Great Lakes United Tall Ships Challenge,
a race across all five Great Lakes.

11 tall ships will come into Toronto on June 30 as part of the Toronto Waterfront Festival on Canada Day long weekend.

The tall ships are opened to visitors until July 4th, before sailing on to Cleveland, Bay City Michigan, Duluth Minnesota, Green Bay Wisconsin, and Chicago.

The Oldest:  The US brig Niagara is the last ship from the War of 1812 still sailing.

The Most Famous:  The Amistad replica from the movie with the same name.  Coming from Conneticut.  The Amistad incident happened in 1839 when 53 Africans bound for slavery gained control of the schooner and demanded to be returned home to Africa.

The Most Perilous Voyage:  The brig Roald Amundsen, the first German ship to sail the Great Lakes.  3 Years ago a crew of 48 left Eckernforde, Germany in February passing through the sound that connects the Baltic Sea with the North Sea, to the English Channel, the Bay of Biscay, France, to Portugal, sailed to the Canary Islands, then across the Atlantic to the Caribbean.  From there they go to Halifax and up the St. Lawrence River arriving at the end of June in Toronto.

The Second Most Perilous Journey:  The Niagara 's trip from Pennsylvania to Toronto in two days through the Welland Canal.

This is to spread the word about the youth sailing training and to promote water conservation around the Great Lakes.



To Honour Our Veterans 

who gave their all we like to show them our models of the war ship models to remind them about the times they spent during WWI, WWII, and the Korean War.  They appreciated this display in the past and hopefully will be able to do so for many years to come.

The display will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2010
in the K-Wing at Sunnybrook Hospital between 9AM and 3PM.
Please, register your model with Ian Smith, Vice President at
416.504-4380 or tlcwoodfinishing@yahoo.ca
Parking will be free for the members with a registered model.
