One of the world’s “most spectacular” tall ships has arrived in Liverpool, in celebration of the Wirral’s historic link to Peru.
The Peruvian navy sailing training ship B.A.P. Unión is docked at the Pier Head, with the public invited to go on board between 10.00am and 7.00pm on Monday and Tuesday (September 1 and 2), and 10.00am and 12.00pm on Wednesday (September 3).
The four masted barque, which was launched in 2015, has travelled around 9,000 miles from Peru, calling in to London docks, before joining almost 50 others in the Tall Ships Races in Aberdeen in July. Around 250 crew, including 71 Navy cadets, are onboard.
