Be Calm

Bangor Bay at the mouth of Belfast Lough.
Centre picture is the Swedish Barque training ship Gunilla. www.instagram.com/instagunilla/?fbclid=IwAR1e_60jyHpkQ4nB...
Gunilla was built as a motorsailor in the 30’s and used as a cargo vessel until 1997 when she was rebuilt into a 3-masted barque. She has since been active as a sailing college, where social studies students in the age from 16-18 years spend 60 days each year as a part of their education, learning to sail, cooperate and becoming world situation. She completes a lap around the Northern Atlantic each year, educating students every year.

General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and former US President, who inspected a huge gathering of ships (landing ship tanks, gunboats, destroyers and 30,000 soldiers) here in Bangor Bay as they readied to storm the shores of Normandy during Operation Overlord (18-19th May 1944) on the run-up to D-Day (6 June 1944).
