The Honourable Jerome Kennedy, Minister of Finance and President of Treasury Board, will attend the official arrival ceremony of the tall-ship Kruzenshern tomorrow (Friday, July 24) at 9:30 a.m. at Pier 11, St John�s.

The Kruzenshtern is a four-mast vessel that was constructed in 1926, and its original name was Paduia. Following the Second World War she was transferred to the USSR and renamed in honour of I.F. Kruzenshtern, Russia�s first navigator to sail around the world. The Kruzenshtern is also a naval training and educational vessel.
