Charlestown Harbour has acquired a stunning new tall ship which is expected to arrive at the historic port on Wednesday (July 3).

This is the first time in decades that Charlestown Harbour has purchased a new vessel. The crew of Anny, including harbour owner Rolf Munding, have been on an exciting voyage to bring the ship to her new home in the UNESCO port and are advising anyone who wants to watch her arrival to keep an eye on the horizon at around 5pm.

Anny has come from Germany and eagle-eyed lookouts are being advised to look eastwards down the coast as the tall ship’s last leg of the journey is from Fowey to Charlestown.

Anny, built in 1930, will join other resident tall ship Kajsamoor, which visitors are already able to go aboard, in the Grade II Listed harbour.
