About this Event

As part of celebrating the arrival of the Tall Ships in Aberdeen, join Alastair Walker, Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (FRICS), to explore the development of sailing ships from 1840 onwards.

The design and development of sailing ships changed from older, far less efficient styles, to sleeker, faster vessels, culminating in the sailing vessels we have today which are taking part in the Tall Ships Race.

The Scottish Maid built here in Aberdeen by Alexander Hall & Sons in 1939 with its “Aberdeen Bow” was the start of major changes in the design and construction of sailing ships.

The cafe will be open in advance, so why not pop along a bit earlier to enjoy lunch, tea/coffee, or one of our lovely homemade tray bakes!
