Exclusive: On Board The Pelican Of London, A Diamond Jubilee Thames Pageant Tall Ship -- The Telegraph
The Telegraph gets exclusive access onboard one of the Tall Ships that will form part of the Avenue of Sail during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee pageant down the river Thames.
On Sunday, June 3 the Jubilee weekend will come to a climax with a seven-mile flotilla of 1,000 boats making up the biggest gathering on the Thames in 350 years.
Ships which are too tall to pass under the 14 bridges on the route will be moored downstream of Tower Bridge on an Avenue of Sail. Among them will be the Pelican of London.
The ship was originally built in France in 1946 and her conversion from Arctic trawler to tall ship was completed in 2007.
