Diamond Anniversary Event

But the event attracted so many people and so much attention that they decided to repeat it annually. 60 years after the start of the event it still attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to the ports where the Tall Ships Races berth. Nowadays the event consists of almost 100 tall ships from all over the world. In 2016 Antwerp will be the starting point of the Tall Ships Races.
