The media production company 3deep has been in Falmouth capturing some stunning aerial shots of the Tall Ships arriving in the harbour.

The company is based in Cornwall and originally focused on 3D underwater visualisations of shipwrecks. The founder of the company, Mike Postons, originally experiment with the idea while studying graphic design at Falmouth University.

They have now expanded beyond 3D modelling and with their latest venture '3D Aerial' they provide aerial photography, aerial videos, 3D aerial surveys/tours, and more.

Let's take a look through some of the best photos taken of the Tall Ships:

Sail Training International added: "She was later acquired by the Mexican Navy as a training vessel for officers, cadets, petty officers, and sailors. Cuauhtemoc sailed the world for thirteen years and in 1995 underwent a major refit of the ship and rigging."

Sail Training International said: "Dar Mlodziezy has been owned by the Gdynia Maritime Academy since she was built in 1982. Her name means "the gift of youth" and she replaced the beautiful frigate Dar Pormoza which had trained future officers of merchant and fishing fleets for over fifty years."

Dar Mlodziezy has been entering the Tall Ships' Races on a regular basis for around 25 years. The organisers said: "Her debut was in 1982 when she crossed the start line directly after being commissioned. She has undertaken circumnavigations of the globe which included the 200th anniversary of Australia in Sydney in 1988."

The organsiers went on to add: "Named after the Polish nineteenth-century musical composer, "Fryderyk Chopin" has a long bowsprit which means she can set five headsails and take advantage of light winds. There are as many as 6 yards on every mast, which is extremely rare."
