Here’s something you don’t expect to see... magnificent tall ships all decked out with flags and with the ship's crew standing in the rigging and sailing past Ipanema beach.
This was just one of the celebrations that took place all over the country to celebrate Dom Pedro’s declaration of Brazil’s independence from Portugal on the 7th September 1822.
A naval parade along Rio de Janeiro’s famous coast line of Leblon, Ipanema, Arpoador, Copacabana and Leme beaches, with the navy’s most modern vessels leading the way, was a fitting and awe inspiring sight for this proud nation.
