Something for the kids

The 30 foot long brig BOB ALLEN will be in Salthouse Dock (next to Albert Dock) from Monday 7th July.

BOB ALLEN is a real tall ship and she is specially designed and built for sailors 10 years and up. (No experience necessary, lifejackets provided).

Between Monday 7th and Thursday 17th July we have two trips a day - at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. - lasting three hours for groups of five sailors.

This a chance for young people in Liverpool to sail a tall ship before the big ones get here on the 18th - and it's free
