Gazela left Portsmouth on May 31st after attending a very successful "Sail Portsmouth 2011" maritime festival. Kudos to all the wonderful people of Portsmouth who organized and attended this event.

Visitors try out Gazela's original hand-operated bilge pumps.

Gazela's crew is constantly finding new ways to interact with and engage visitors, to help them get a sense of what it is like to sail on an old tall ship. Children take turns either hoisting one of the headsails, or helping to pump the bilge!
