From Thursday, July 6, to Sunday, July 9, dozens of vessels docked in Hartlepool as part of the Tall Ships Races 2023.
On Sunday morning, hundreds of spectators lined the coast to say goodbye to the crews as they set sail on the next leg of their journey.
Photographer Lee Bullivant captured 14 stunning photos of the Parade of Sail as well as an earlier crew performance aboard the Bima Suci.
