This is your chance also to step aboard a fascinating tall ship the Lord Nelson, and get a taste of life aboard a working tall ship. You will be able to see how this grand traditional ship has been built and how it is operated with not only the latest electronic and navigational aids, but also with a suite of special features that enable people of all abilities to sail together as equals.
