The world's largest traditional sailing ship, the STS Sedov, has docked at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town after an absence of 77 years.
The Russian vessel, primarily a training ship, was launched in 1921 and holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest sailing vessel dedicated to the training of naval cadets.
It's journey started in early 2012, covering more than 45000 nautical miles and calling on ports on four continents - Europe, America, Asia and Africa.
The expedition is devoted to the celebration of the 1150th anniversary of the birth of Russian statehood.
