Tally Ho’s Historic Return to Baltimore | Cork News
Description
Tally Ho, the legendary 48-foot sailing yacht that won the 1927 Fastnet Race, made a triumphant return to Baltimore Harbour after a grueling 14,000-mile voyage from Florida, setting the stage for the centenary celebration of its historic win. Welcomed by a fleet of 34 local boats and a crowd of 100 eager fans—including a replica of the first yacht to sail around the world—Tally Ho’s arrival was a nostalgic maritime spectacle. Built in 1910 and once abandoned in Oregon, she was rescued in 2017 by British restorer Leo Sampson Goolden, who spent seven years meticulously restoring her and documented the journey online. Local pub owner Bill Hillyard, a longtime admirer of Leo’s work, hosted the event, celebrating Baltimore’s deep seafaring heritage. With her next stop in Britain looming, Tally Ho’s Baltimore visit added a vibrant chapter to her storied legacy—and you still have time to catch her before she sails off again on Monday.
