Hi, can anyone please tell me what time on Sunday the tall ships sail out of Liverpool.

Not sure that they are in Tina. Are you sure you're not looking at the website from last year???? (I only ask becasue I did the same last week

thank you Softy Southerner, but no it was on the itv news on Friday that they were in and sail out Sunday 9th June 2013. its cos of the river fest; the is lots going on down on the river and around the prom..

Up-to-date info seems scarse, but the ' itsliverpool.com ' site says
"The Liverpool on the Waterfront programme, which is free to the public, runs from late May to early June.

The programme will be launched with the city hosting the 70th and final national anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Atlantic on May 24. It will close with the revival of the Mersey River Festival on June 7-9."

I've just found a better link from them here (click).
This says 11am to 5pm, and lists many of the ships.

Hope this helps. I've got friends going over there this afternoon...

Thank you Norton. will give them a look...

Thanks Norton

i found info in the echo on line so i walked down to woodside for a stroll on the off chance i may have seen the ships (i couldnt see) but i was treated to a lovely air display that i dont think was planned

More from itsliverpool.com, regarding the air display appended below..

I didn't hear the 3pm flight, otherwise I'd have taken a look. I was sat here quite quietly typing the reply above. I'll take a look tomorrow, but be aware that river events don't always go to scheduled timings.
