The Aberdeen Line built over 100 Tall Ships from the Walter Hood Shipyard in Aberdeen, in the very place the Tall Ships will be berthed as part of the Tall Ships Race of 2025.

As such, it is a fitting opportunity to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the incorporation of one of the world's most important shipping innovators with many of the ships returning home to Aberdeen.

About the
Committee

The Aberdeen Line 200 Committee was created following a dinner in October 2022 that celebrated the Last Great Tea Race of 1872. between two ships: Cutty Sark and The Aberdeen Line's Thermopylae.

Thermopylae was widely recognised as the fastest Tall Ship in the world and it is fitting that she was built in Aberdeen.
