Hi Guys
Two German Navy ships from the 3rd minehunter squadron "M1058 Fulda" and "M1060 Weiden" will visit Galway from Friday the 27th June until Tuesday the 31st June.
The ships will be open to the public on the Saturday and Sunday from 2-5pm, the German Navy last visited Galway in 1992 when over 5,000 people toured the visiting ships.
Will post pictures on Galway Ships Website next week
