THE BEAUTIFUL German tall ship ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT II arrived in London this afternoon for a two day visit.
The 65-metre barque with distinctive green hull looked spectacular as she passed London's landmarks on her inbound journey to the Upper Pool.
It's the first visit to London for the three-masted vessel which was launched in 2011 and is owned by the German Sail Training Foundation.
She was built at a cost of €15million to replace the original Alexander von Humboldt ship.
"Alex 2" moored alongside HMS BELFAST this afternoon and will remain there until her departure at 10.15 on Monday 28th April.
