Victoria Tall Ships Festival

Victoria, BC, will host several tall ships as part of events to celebrate British Columbia's 150th anniversary as a Crown colony.

A starring attraction will be the Bounty, a tall ship built in 1960 for the MGM film Mutiny on the Bounty. The 54-metre square-rigged three-master was constructed in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, based on the original 18th century ship's drawings in British Admiralty archives. She will take centre stage at the festival from June 26-29, 2008. For more information visit www.tallshipsvictoria.ca
