Argentina’s, 104 metres, Navy Ship ARA Libertad is docked some ten miles off the coast of Guyana and yesterday entertained Prime Minister Samuel Hinds and members of the diplomatic corps as a part of its round-the-world trip which concludes in December of this year. The 329-crew navy ship was first launched in Argentina in 1956 and made it first voyage in the year 1963. It completed its first round-the-world trip in 1965. The Libertad has a world record of being the fastest tall vessel to complete the Atlantic sail and is also the 8-time Boston Tea Pot winners. In 2004-2007 the Libertad underwent half life restoration works where it was rehabilitated to serve much longer. (Photo by Lakhram Bhagirat)
