From the San Francisco Chronicle, 8/19/11:
“The Russian sailing vessel Pallada came under the Golden Gate Bridge on Friday and tied up at Pier 27 for a four-day visit. The Pallada, which is 354 feet long, is said to be the fastest large sailing ship in the world, capable of speeds up to 18 knots.…”
