Once every 5 years, a parade of SAIL Amsterdam ships takes place in Amsterdam. In August, thousands of vessels, from small sailboats to multi-masted ships, gather in the Bay of Hey in the north of the city, and then a huge marine parade passes along the capital of the Netherlands. In 2000, 8 thousand vessels participated in the event! Impressive, isn't it?

We can't even imagine the scale of everything happening there. The photos alone are already breathtaking.
