Barque

The 24-sail Alexander Humboldt II barque transits the Corinth Canal on Friday. The German tall ship provides training in traditional seamanship in the Baltic, North and Mediterranean seas.

The Palinuro, a three-masted, iron-hulled barquentine that serves as a sail training vessel for the Italian Navy, will be anchored at the Ionian island of Cephalonia's port of Argostoli from September 7 to 9. The public will be able to board the historic vessel for guided tours on Friday between 4 and 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon and Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon and 4 to 6 p.m.

The storied Sea Cloud sails in Nafplio's harbor in the northern Peloponnese, on Friday. Now a cruise ship, the four-masted barque served in WWII as a weather ship for the US Navy and was the country's first racially integrated warship since the Civil War. It was also owned for a few years by Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Trujillo. [Evangelos Bougiotis/ANA-MPA]
