The return of the White Fleet

This is the Santa Maria Manuela. It is one of two remaining tall ships from the famed Portuguese White Fleet. Back in the day, the fleet used to pay regular visits to St. John's when it fished for cod on the grand Banks. There are many legends of of sailors playing soccer on the wharf. These pictures were taken by Cecil Haire.
