2005 Canadian $20 Tall Ships: Three-Masted Ship 1 oz Fine Silver Hologram Coin 

Tall Ships Collection - Issue 1 of 3

Prepare to be swept away by the most majestic sight at sea - tall ships. Ever since the world's first explorers began riding the wind to explore unknown horizons, tall ships have inspired us with dreams of adventure, wealth and fame. There's an almost mystic connection between a captain and his ship as they harness one of the greatest forces in nature, one that can be ally and deadly foe. History is replete with adventure and peril on the high seas. And those ships that survived the fury were later hailed as quick, loyal or brave. Now with this extraordinary collection of hologram-enhanced 99.99% pure silver coins, you can create your very own fleet of tall ships starting with the full rigged three-masted ship, a faithful ocean-going vessel that was used to transport cargo and travellers from Canada all over the world in the 19th century. It was square rigged on all masts in order to coast downwind with the prevailing winds while its foreand-aft sails enabled the ship to sail closer into the wind. Climb aboard today!
