The Ship was in Sydney in 1961. Invited to a party on board, wonderful music, food and hospitality. The people of Sydney fell in love with the ship, consequently the Captain made a promise to leave Sydney Harbour with all sails up. The morning of departure was very still and misty, and watching from Rose Bay it looked unlikely that the Captain could keep his promise. However as the minutes ticked by, there it was sailing (quietly motoring) with the crew on the sails to the top, a and slowly motoring along out of the mist accompanied by the ships band playing our National Anthem. There was a memory I will never forget. The daily newspaper, of which I still have a copy, announced there were more people lining the shoreline that morning than were there to welcome the a Royal Family.

Ruth, thanks for sharing your wonderfull memories. I to went onboard just prior to sailing and slipped a note to the Officer of the watch to request a sails up departure as I wanted to produce a video. The Esmeralda went under power to the right up the harbour behind some trees turned around, coming back down the harbour with sails being hoisted and the band playing, I know the feeling you had! thanks for your comment, Mike - AirflowNZ

Ruth, thank you very much for your comment. I want to say that I'm very proud of our (chilean) navy, and It's not chauvinism. Our navy is really professional. Officers and all sailors have a very hard and complete training. They are fully commited with our country, are patriots and brave sailors. Moreover, they honour and preserve their great traditions founded in a history plenty of outstandig facts. In addition, they are true gentlemen. Greetings from Chile.

How wonderful to see the ship again leaving New Zealand. so thankful for the special memories. In 1962 I was Twenty Three - now in 2023 I am Eighty Four, remember that Sydney visit like it was yesterday and still get a thrill to see it sailing and being part of that noisy crowd on the banks of Sydney Harbour
