Sail ship sold out for second straight day in northern
Australia
DARWIN, Australia, Oct. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- (ANSA) Darwin - For the second consecutive day, the
Amerigo Vespucci was sold out for on-board visits in the port of
Darwin, in northern Australia. Thousands of people have been
queuing since the morning to admire the Navy training ship, which
arrived in the capital of the Northern Territory for the 24th leg
of its world tour, which began on July 1,
2023 in Genoa.
To the tune of the greatest hits of Italian music, and under a
scorching sun, Australians, tourists but also many Italians who
emigrated Down Under were able to visit the 'most beautiful ship in
the world', remaining fascinated by the timeless beauty of the
historic sailing ship. "It's a floating masterpiece," said one of
the visitors immediately after leaving the ship. "The thing
that struck me most - added a citizen of Darwin - are the thousands
of ropes that there are for the sails".
An Australian couple posed for yet another souvenir photo next
to Jago's work "the David" that has accompanied the Vespucci's
world tour since its departure from Genoa. "Going aboard was a privilege,"
they said, "truly beautiful, a unique emotion. We loved it so much
and I recommend anyone to go aboard, they will be ecstatic." The
line continued to move uninterruptedly while waiting visitors did
not stop taking photos and recording videos.
Visits aboard the Vespucci will continue on Monday, from 9 to
12:30 local time, before the training ship leaves its moorings
again to continue towards the next stop on the world tour, which
will be in Singapore.
