The following article by Gillian Black was submitted to the Sail
Training BB at: http://www.delphi.com/sailtraining/

I'm sure that Chris Maurer the sysop and Gillian will not mind me
circulating it, especially since the news is somewhat short notice.

THE LAST FAREWELL

Two tall ships, the STS Sir Winston Churchill and the STS Malcolm
Miller, are visiting London on a bitter-sweet visit: their joint
passage through Tower Bridge marks their last voyage together before
the Malcolm Miller is decommissioned. And their arrival and departure
will be carried live online by the ThamesCam: Livesights' online video
camera webcasting continuous images from the Thames at Tower Bridge.

The ships, both three-masted topsail schooners, are operated by the
Sail Training Association charity, which arranges sea experience for
young people aged 16 to 24. The young crews will man the vessels'
yardarms as they pass in through the Bridge with a Thames river police
escort at 1600GMT (12 noon EST) on September 29, and a fireboat will
direct a jet of water high in the air in salute as they leave at
1015GMT (6.15am EST) on October 6. Among dignitaries aboard STS Sir
Winston Churchill for the inbound voyage will be the STA president and
round-the-world yachtsman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston.

Full details of the event, with interactive links, can be found online
at http://www.livesights.com/VideoPages/showcas2.htm

The Sail Training Association uses its funds to make the sailing
opportunities available to everyone, regardless of their background,
creed or nationality. The STA also organises the annual Cutty Sark Tall
Ships Race involving the world's large sailing vessels and their young
crews; and for the year 2000, there's a special millennium race which
involves a circumnavigation of the North Atlantic.

Aboard each ship for the voyage up the Thames is a crew of 55, all but
10 of whom are young people. They're completing an 11-day sail training
voyage of about 1,000 miles (1,600km). The crew members come from all
over Britain, but among them are 14 from various parts of London.

Cheers
