Crew parade & party

At 4pm we gathered as a ship together for the crew parade! It was amazing to see so many people watching! The streets were packed!

The parade went from the esplanade to the main stage at holmsgarth. And here we had the opening of the Lerwick Tall Ships festival.
A prize giving ceremony then took place. Winners included Bima Suci, with the tallest mast and having travelled the furthest to take part. The Swan won the prize for outstanding contribution to the Cruise-in-Company.

After the ceremony we attended the crew party where lots of Shetland trainees helped guide in Shetland dances. There was a DJ as well as Alan Nicholson's dance band.Les mer
