Chilean tall ship Esmerelda visits San Francisco and held an open house, welcoming friends and family aboard for the afternoon. She is the second largest sailing vessel and the expanses of deck and canvas serve as an inspiration for crew and visitors alike...how can one not be impressed ?

The officers and cadets extended every hospitality to visitors, and we can't thank you enough !!
