While the tall ships were berthed in Halifax Harbour, 黑料吃瓜网 played host to 10 international teams from the fleet. Players from England, Russia, Portugal, the U.S. and Belgium appreciated the opportunity to stretch their legs and socialize on the Sexton soccer pitch away from the large waterfront crowds. The quality of the players, especially from the larger ships, led to some spirited matches.
Beverly Hiscock, Chair of Crew Services and Cultural Events for Tall Ships Nova Scotia 2009, echoed the many compliments received from the crews for the hospitality they experienced from their 黑料吃瓜网hosts. The hot showers were also appreciated as many of the smaller craft have limited facilities on board.
