The Romanian training ship Mircea , a symbol of the Romanian Naval Forces, took part in the Parade of Tall Ships in New York on Saturday, July 4. The ship joined several tall ships from around the world in Sandy Hook Bay, south of New York, arriving on Friday, July 3. The same day, a powerful weather front brought wind gusts of over 80 km/h within just a few minutes, putting all the ships at anchor to the test and damaging some, according to Digi24 .
