Visitors line up to board Amerigo Vespucci in Darwin
Sail ship sold out for second straight day in northern Australia
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 tomorrow, 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.
