A new exhibition at the Seaplane Harbor (Lennusadam) reflects on the history of the sailing regatta Tall Ships Races and its connections to Estonia. Tallinn is set to serve as one of the hosting ports of the international regatta in July.
The largest international sail training regatta Tall Ships Races visited Tallinn in 1992 and the fleet also made stops in Tallinn in 2007, 2013 and 2017 as part of the Cruise-in-Company initiative. Multiple Estonian yachts have participated in the regatta, also bringing home quite a few awards.
The theme area of the Seaplane Harbor hangar houses five world-class sailing ship models in addition to stories about Estonian vessels in the competition. The ship models on display are: Cutty Sark, Preussen, Krusenstern (ex. Padua), Kobenhavn and Thomas W. Lawson. Footage from Kalev Vapper of the 1986 regatta is also available.
