"Hanse Sail" Brings Tall Ships to Rostock
August 6, 2004Advertisement
One of Germany's biggest sailing regattas is under way in the northern city of Rostock and will continue through Sunday. As many as one million people are expected to attend the 14th annual Hanse Sail in the town on the Baltic coast. Visitors to the ports of Rostock and Warnemünde can enjoy four days of nautical and maritime events, with impressive historical and modern vessels from around the world -- including the "Kruzhenstern," a Russian four-masted barque that is proving to be an audience magnet.
