Tall Ships Festival 2025 - Aberdeen

Set sail to Aberdeen’s spectacular Tall Ships Festival 2025!
After World War II, tall ships were a dying breed, having lost out to steam-powered ships several decades before. Retired solicitor from London, Bernard Morgan first dreamed up the idea of bringing young cadets and seamen under training together from around the world to participate in a friendly competition. Portuguese Ambassador to the UK, Pedro Teotónio Pereira, was a big supporter of this original idea and believed that such a race would bring together the youth of the world's seafaring peoples. These two figures started discussions in 1953 and three years later they saw their vision become a reality.
The first Tall Ships' race was held in 1956. It was a race of 20 of the world's remaining large sailing ships.
Skip forward to 2025 and this event is bigger and better than ever before with many countries putting on incredible shows and welcoming events for them.
This year it was the turn of Aberdeen in Scotland to be one of the stages to welcome these brilliant Tall Ships to its harbour
I went along and all I can say is it was phenomenal. Actually quite emotional to see everybody having the best time. a fabulous family event from ages 0 - 100
Truly a phenomenal day out and you will see
Thanks to Aberdeen and all the organisers, crew and volunteers for something that will be remembered for a very very long time
