Mexican Tall Ship...

... in all her glory in Fremantle Port.
What a magnificent ship she is!   Mexican Tall Ship - I can't pronounce her name but have a peek at her story. 

She carries 186 officers and crew and 90 trainees. She visits ports around the world as an ambassador for Mexico. Unfortunately there was no way to get really close this morning as there was a massive fence blocking access and a queue of over 100 people waiting even before the gate opened. The Driver was looking for a carpark to no avail, so I jumped out of the car, grabbed a few shots and met him as he circled for the nth time :-))

And there I was looking forward to practicing my almost forgotten Spanish!! (or not)

Anyway, a couple more as extras - the biggest Mexican flag I've seen and a glimpse of the rigging. The ship is so big it was impossible to get more in the frame.
