The Class A Tall Ship 'Pelican Of London' arrived in Dun Laoghaire on Saturday morning and took up a berth in the south Dublin Bay harbour.

The 45-metre square-rigger sailed in from Douglas in the Isle of Man.

The 1946-built ship provides a sailing experience and an alternative form of learning for young people. Its international programme promotes personal growth through sail training and marine career development and offers hands-on Ocean Science and environmental conservation activities.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven't put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full-time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
