The Spirit of Bermuda joined other vessels to help to launch a tall ship event in New Hampshire.
The ship took part in the Portsmouth Parade of Sail on Thursday, celebrating the start of the 2022 Sail Portsmouth Festival.
The Spirit of Bermuda, alongside the Lynx, the Kalmar Nyckel and the Piscataqua – a historical flat-bottomed barge known as a gundalow – sailed the mouth of the Piscataqua River and ended at the Memorial Bridge.
