Bangor seafront
Visiting Vessels | Eisenhower Pier
Meet and greet the crew and admire the vessels
12noon - 6pm, both days
We are delighted to welcome to Sea Bangor the visit of two traditionally rigged vessels – Pellew and Spirit of Falmouth – arriving in Bangor as part of the Full Circle sailing expedition, coordinated by veteran sailing charity Turn to Starboard and delivered in partnership with Invictus Games Birmingham 2027. Their presence is certainly an event highlight!
The expedition is carrying the Invictus Games flag on a UK voyage ahead of Invictus Games Birmingham 2027, with Bangor proud to be one of its host ports. Over the weekend, the crew will be on the pier nearby, giving people the chance to meet them, including Luke Powell, who built Pellew, and to learn about the ship, it’s history and about the voyage they have been making.
Visiting Crew of HMS Bangor | Eisenhower Pier
Meet and greet the crew
12noon - 6pm, both days
Sea Bangor will also welcome crew personnel from HMS Bangor, attending the event in a representative capacity. While the vessel itself will not be present, due to ongoing repairs following a collision, the crew’s attendance reflects Bangor’s ongoing links with the Royal Navy.
