Tall Ships

Stuart Wood films the Norwegian ship Christian Radich during the Parade of Sail

The Christian Radich is possibly the most famous Tall Ship of all time and can be seen in all her elegance in this mobile video shot from a pilot boat on the Mersey. The Christian Radich was built in 1937 and is still a contender in the races, having been placed first on several occasions.

See more videos direct from the sailors and other participants on our Tall Ships index.

Fabulous weekend. The last time I saw the Christian Radich was in the late 60s by the Radhus in Oslo. A terrific event for the North West and congratulations to all involved in the planning of this event.
