The majestic Tall Ships Race played an integral part in Australia Day celebrations on Sydney Harbour since 1994 and was always a spectacular sight.

Heading off from Bradley’s Head, the historic 1874 tall ship James Craig led an impressive fleet of historic and charter vessels as they made their way up the Harbour.

The race traveled on the northern side of Fort Denison, taking in glorious views of Sydney Harbour's iconic landmarks, and concluded under the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 1.30pm.

Spectators who wanted to catch a glimpse of this grandeur were encouraged to line the shores at vantage points such as Bradfield Park, Blues Point, Hickson Road Reserve, Overseas Passenger Terminal, and the Sydney Opera House.
