The famous Russian sailing ship Sedov, currently on tour around the world, arrived in Vladivostok from South Korea. The ship's crew was greeted with a traditional offering of roasted pig and bread and salt.
The four-masted Sedov barque made the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest traditional sailing ship in operation. It is 117,5 meters (385.5 feet) long and has over 4,000 square metres (13,123 square feet) of sails.
The journey around the world marks the 1,150th anniversary of the Russian statehood and memorable dates in the history of Russian geographic discoveries.
Sedov will finish its journey in St.Petersburg in July 2013. During its 14-month tour around the world, the ship will cover around 45,000 nautical miles.
“Sedov is expected to leave Vladivostok in ten days. During this time, Vladivostok residents and guests of the city will be able to visit the barque and learn about its history,” a representative of the Federal Agency for Fishery said.
The Sedov barque will leave Vladivostok for the Japanese port of Nagasaki and will then head for the Equator. It will visit a number of Asian countries and then sail to the Horn of Africa, before continuing its journey back to St.Petersburg.
