Re: Agenda Item
Dear Mr. Odio:
Please place on the agenda for the next City Commission meeting in January the issue
described in the accompanying letter.
On behalf of the sailing ship, "TOLE MOUR," we are requesting that the City of Miami
extend courtesy dockage on the outer seawall at Miamarina from December 20, 1994, to March
20, 1995. The ship will pay electrical charges but dockage fees would be waived. This has been
discussed with City staff, who have recommended that we make this request to the Commission.
As stated in the letter, this vessel is a sail training ship from Hawaii, carrying cadets. The
ship will invite local students for ship tours and lessons during its stay in Warm.
This ship visit is a precursor for the Tall Ships 2000 event, bringing the world's most
prestigious sailing ships on a tour which will hopefully include N:4iatni in the year 2000. We look
forward to working with your office to plan for this event.

Dear Mayor Clark:
This letter is written to request that courtesy dockage be provided for the Tall Ship
"'POLE HOUR" during its visit to the City Of Miami. The ship will dock at the outer seawall
at Miamarina from December 20, 1994, to March 20, 1995. The ship would pay its electrical
expenses, consistent an0 courtesy oc ge pr 7similar visiting vessels in the past.
, The "TOLE MOUR" is a topsail schooner from Hawaii, with cadets aboard learning the
traditions and skills of sailing ships. Local students will be invited for tours of the ship and
lessons in the lore of sailing vessels. The "TOLE�.MOUR." received the American Sail. Training
Association award "Sailing Ship of the Year in 1992 for its training programs.
T%e City of Miami is known internationally as the "Cruise Ship Capital of the World" and
has garnered valuable positive,policity for maritime activities, sailing and powerboat races, and
the,,k*!t of the Columbus caravels'in 1992..yhe upcoming Tall Ships 2000 event;'eurrently being
planned, will be an extravaganza providing the backdrop for Miami as the Port of the Americas.
This image carries forward the spirit of the recent Summit of the Americas.
Previous tall ships which have visited Miami include:
"Juan Sebastian Del Caino," the schooner training ship of Spain
"Alexandria," topsail schioner of Alexandria, Virginia
"Ernestina," schooner from Massachusetts, declared a National Historic Landmark
"Pride of Baltimore," Baltimore clipper from Baltimore, Maryland
"Westward," training schooner
"Corwith Cramer," brigantine of Sea Education Association, Woods Hole, Massachusetts
It is customary for port cities to welcome visiting tall ships such as the "TOLE MOUR"
as guests so that the limited resources of training ships may be preserved. The ship "Heritage
of Miami" has been afforded similar courtesies in the past.
The City administration, particularly Lawrence (Monk) Terry, has been cooperative and
has suggested that this issue be presented to the City Commission in its next -meeting. By this
letter we are requesting that the City Manager schedule this on the agenda, when it might be
appropriate to provide a welcoming commends u ap rove waiver of
dockage fees as a courte_ sue. ase cal i there axe any questions.
