The majestic sailing ship leaves Tall Ships in Fredrikstad
Title: The majestic sailing ship leaves Tall Ship Fredrikstad – the crew salutes from the masts
Like a floating fairy tale from another time, the proud sailing ship glides along the river, dressed in white and flanked by wind and history. The sails are half furled, and the masts rise high and confident against the sky, like towering spires in a floating cathedral. From every crossbar, the crew stands in full parade – like dark silhouettes against the sky – and salutes with a dignity that only sailors know.
The ship carries its name with honor, and the flags wave in the wind as a colorful tribute to the sea and all its travelers. The audience on land stands close, like waves of faces and anticipation, as the great ship slowly sails on — out of Fredrikstad's historic backdrop and into the open, blue.
In front of the ship, an old-fashioned wooden watermill, like a bridge between the mill of the past and the power of the future. The image captures a powerful moment – not just of farewell, but of pride, freedom and human courage. A tribute to the culture of the sea, to the strength of community and to the dream of the horizon.
