All eyes were on Wearside five years ago this month.
Some of the most majestic ships in the world arrived in Sunderland for the 2018 Tall Ships Races.
It was a fun-filled, action-packed festival from start to finish and if you want another dose of it, Hartlepool is gearing up for the races this week.
