Three-masted boat Belem leaves Greece for France with Olympic torch on board

The Olympic flame set sail on Saturday on its voyage to France on board the Belem, the Torch Relay reaching its climax at the revolutionary Paris Games opening ceremony along the river Seine on July 26.
It was accompanied off the port of Piraeus by the trireme Olympias of the Greek Navy and 25 sailing boats. On Sunday, the ship will pass from the Corinth Canal -- a feat of 19th century engineering constructed with the contribution of French banks and engineers.
