It is 8 years since you had the time of your lives at The Tall Ships Races in Sunderland.
The four-day spectacle was coming to its finale on this day in 2018. We love these Sunderland Echo archive scenes which show people enjoying the live entertainment on the Town Moor as well as the parade of sail on the last day.
We also have photo memories from people touring the vessels and others relaxing on the beach as the giant ships finally left Wearside.
Have a look through and relive the scenes which unfolded during one of the most eventful weeks in Sunderland history.
