The Grand Turk Tall Ship visited Holyhead in July 2007.  The photos above were taken when she moored up at the port.  The photo on the right shows the HSS Stena Exporer pass by as she comes in to port .
The Grand Turk  is a "film star" in her own right !  She      appeared as the Indefatigable in the TV series the "Hornblower". She is a replica of an 18th Century man-o-war ship based on drawings of a 6th rate frigate called "Blanford" similar to those that were in action in the Battle of Trafalgar. 
Built in 1996,she was conceived and built primarily as an    action vehicle for the film and television industry. Whilst    remaining technical authenticity she enjoys the benefit of two  marine diesel engines, a bow thruster and four generators!
The Grand Turk has an overall length of 47 metres and a beam of 10.4, has a draught of 3.1 meters and a Tonnage (GRT) 314, and a sail area of 1050 square meters. She is authentically rigged and her open deck  is lined with cannons. With her main mast standing some 36 metres high, this impressive ship dominates with her surroundings and is a fantastic setting for a variety of events. Her spacious saloon and deck are ideal for dinners, meetings and conferences for up to 120 guests and product launches and cocktail parties for up to 200. Guest capacity under sail 110.
