Tall ship La Malouine is on its way to Silloth after being anchored off the coast near Whitehaven.
It is travelling from Ramsey in the Isle of Man and expected to arrive in Silloth at 2pm.
The tall ship visited Whitehaven in 2022 and was due to return in 2023, but had to call off the visit due to mechanical issues. It was in Whitehaven for people to visit in February this year.
La Malouine is a twin masted French Brigantine, registered in the Port of Dumfries, started life in Gdansk, Poland, and was transformed in to the current brigantine in 1992, sailing the Baltic Sea under the name Willem.
She enjoyed a career in the charter business, carrying sailing guests, taking part in match races and participating in many sailing ship events.
In 2010, she was sold to a French owner and renamed La Malouine. It took Roy Kerr three years to buy her and bring her to Scotland. Tall Ship La Malouine is a not-for-profit organisation.
It arrived near Whitehaven at around 8.05pm last night and set off this morning.
