THE Tall Ships' Race 2005 is to be the highlight of a newly announced national tourism campaign. Newcastle is the only UK port that will host the race alongside three other European cities, Waterford, in Ireland, Cherbourg, in France, and Fredrikstad, in Norway.
The spectacular event will be the climax of the Seabritain 2005 campaign, which commences at the bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar. Organisers launched the campaign in Newcastle and Gateshead.
