ight is 123 feet. We purchased a passport to visit the ships, with details on each ship's background. You can see photos of it in full mast on its webpage.

Thanks for posting these pics. We were not able to attend on Saturday or Sunday so we couldn't board the ships. However I was there Friday for the Sail Past and blessing of the ships so I got to see them in full sail. I've posted a few of them on my blog. They were an amazing sight to see!
