For Kids

 
 

Calling all kids! ….join us at 9.30am at the Bolton Street Car Park and join in the World Record Bid for the most number of pirates in any one place. To be counted in towards the world record bid, the pirates will need to wear a white or striped shirt or t-shirt; a pair of short or rolled up trousers; a pirate scarf or hat. Free eye patches and Britvic-sponsored badges will be distributed to all participants before the pirates leave Bolton St to parade towards the Quay and ‘plunder’ the visiting Tall Ships. We need 6,200 participants, so get on down to Bolton Street on Friday, 1st July.

After two years of preparations involving an estimated 13,760 hours of voluntary effort, Waterford successfully hosted The Tall Ships Races 2011 from June 30-July 3.
It’s estimated that 500,000 people enjoyed the spectacle in the city and along the Suir Estuary. To all those individuals and organisations that made this huge international event possible and to the people of Waterford who embraced the occasion brilliantly – thank you. To those who visited Waterford, we look forward to welcoming you back soon and invite you to visit www.discoverwaterfordcity.ie to keep up-to-date on what’s happening in Ireland’s oldest city. To the sail training family at the heart of The Tall Ships Races, we look forward to your return!

Here we showcase a small selection of Dylan Vaughan’s photography from four magical days.
