Looking back .... ALL HANDS ON DECK AT SETE ESCALE Festival of Maritime Traditions 6 to 9 April (article by Patricia Ford) A record 100,000 visitors and 100 traditional sailing vessels congregated in Séte for Escale à Sète 2012, the second biennial festival of maritime traditions. AGLR members helped out as volunteers at the invitation of The Town of Sète. Most members were assigned to greet visitors and liaise with the crew of the Russian vessel Kruzenshtern, the largest and most magnificent of the tall ships - and the main attraction. ‘All hands on deck’ took on its full significance as members sold tickets to a swelling tide of visitors, controlled crowds, escorted groups to the ship’s museum and even recounted the ship’s history in French. Built in 1926 in Bremerhaven, Germany and originally named the Padua, the Kruzenshtern is a four masted barque and tall ship. After the WWII she was surrendered to the USSR as war reparation and renamed after the early 19th century explorer Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770–1846). She is now a Russian Navy sail training ship and the second largest traditional sailing vessel in operation after the Sedov, also a former German ship.
Special thanks to all our members including Patricia Kohlen, Laurence Parsegian, whose fluent command of the Russian language (as well as French and English) was invaluable, to AGLR friends Adrienne and Chuck, who drove many miles each day to help, and to Simon for his talks on the ship’s history,
