In 1986 "Christian Radich" was again on her way to an anniversary in the USA, this time to celebrate the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor on the 4th of July. "Christian Radich" was guest of honour in the magnificent parade of tall ships. The ship stayed in New York for two eventful weeks, officers, crew and cadets all participating. The trip home went via Halifax and Larvik to Oslo and finally Horten for more restoration and overhaul. Ships this size need a lot of care and attention
