</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I really love tall masted sailing ships, so upon discovering that Duluth was participating this past July in the Great Lakes Tall Ship Challenge bringing in 9 of the 14 tall masted beauties from the race, I knew this was a must see. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://barkeuropa.qindtest.nl/en/home/1-Tall_ship_barque_europa">Barque Europa</a> was one of the great beauties who moored in the Duluth, Minnesota harbor for nearly a week. She was built in 1911 and fully restored in 1994, with a home port of Scheveningen, The Netherlands. Her over all length is just over an impressive 183 feet, and carries a crew of 14 professional members with a complimented crew of up to 48. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
