Its the largest peacetime gathering of boats in maritime history, OPSAIL

promote harmony among nations and teach sailors the old art of
harnessing the wind.

the ceremonies with the international naval review, a tradition dating
back more than one hundred years. As he passed by, he saluted each

and through history... that fittingly ended on the deck of the aricraft

stole the show., creating a kaliedascope of sails against a spectacular
