We were supposed to get some tall ships here last summer for the 150th, but either they never showed up, or no proper announcements. I know I went to The Old Port at one point, and never found a ship that was supposed to be in town. For about three years a decade back, we had an actual "Tall Ships Festival" in the fall, but it was clear the ships were available because they were at some other event elsewhere, so might as well stop here in Montreal. Then it stopped, no explanation. We're back to random ships sometimes appearing, and usually I read about them in the paper after the fact. We did get the Viking Ship two years ago (it was a re-creation, sailed over from Norway or Denmark), I went down and I could see it but they weren't open to visitors that day, and I never got back. The Old Port here used to have a page about visiting ships, but I never find when tall ships are in port. Michael
