It does put me in an eyerolling spot, though, because with very few classic sailing vessels afloat (including the replicas), they all advertise themselves as "tall ships". Most of them aren't (they're square-rigged vessels but not tall ships), and I can't always keep myself from pointing this out, which is a waste of breath.
