"Xiamen" sailboat returned from all over the world Xiamen Xiamen Jinmen ship went to sea to meet

Xiamen, September 14th: After 315 days and nights, four continents, three oceans, and more than 23,000 nautical miles of sailing, the “Xiamen” sailboat made its first round trip around the geographical shape of the earth. On the morning of the 14th, when the “Xiamen” returned in the Xiamen-Ginhai area, ships such as Xiamen, Kinmen Marine Police, and Marine Patrol, as well as sailboats and other ships driven by students at Golden Gate University, rushed to the sea to meet.

Taiwan’s “Airport Bureau” southern navigation center also used tugboats to spray water and whistling. Kinmen officials also boarded flowers and toasted.

Afterwards, “Xiamen” arrived at Xiamen’s Wuyuan Bay to complete the circumnavigation, including Xu Zuyuan, Vice Minister of Communications, Yu Weiguo, Secretary of the Xiamen City Party Committee, Wu Youqin, Deputy Mayor of Jinmen County, and other people from all walks of life who came to meet and sailed to the world. We congratulate.

Xu Zuyuan said that three years ago, China’s single, unpowered sailor, the first person of Global Navigation successfully sailed home, demonstrating the courage of Chinese sailors to return to the ocean; 26 hours ago, China’s maritime surveillance group 113 successfully built to demonstrate China’s defense. The rights of oceans and the image of the great power that safeguards world peace. At this moment, the “Xiamen” has successfully returned. It conveys that the Chinese people will not stop enjoying the glory of Zheng He’s maritime age, but will use the new era of maritime practice to express the challenges of the Chinese people. Naturally, embracing the ocean and creating blue brilliant confidence and strong belief.

This "Xiamen" voyage is the first time in the history of Chinese sailing to go round the earth's geographic shape, that is, without artificial passage connecting the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal and other sea channels, in accordance with the original shape of the land and sea to develop routes. The "Xiamen" is therefore also the first in the history of sailing in China, passing through the devil's sea at Cape Horn and the westerly roaring at 55 degrees south.

Including the captain Wei Jun, sailors Wang Tienan, Li Jincheng, and Liu Zuyang, four sailors completed the entire voyage, and four sailors took part in sailing on different segments. (Finish)
