The Russian barque Mir under the command of Captain Sergey Timoshov is one of four well-known sailing ships expected to visit the port during the summer months. Falmouth Tall Ships Association (FTSA) is hosting the ship during her three day visit in June.
The FTSA is still waiting to hear if the Russian four-masted barque Kruzenshtern will be calling again this year.
The Port of Falmouth received a warm welcome from the international tall ships community after FTSA committee member Anne Oliver attended the Sail Training International three day annual conference in Barcelona last October.
Anne promoted Falmouth as a port of call for the world's tall ships, with the various sail training organisations and captains of the ships.
The Sail Training Association brig Prince William is scheduled to berth at the docks for three days in May and the Stavros S Niarchos arrives in the autumn for a similar period.
