Although money woes initially raised doubts about the annual Sail Boston festivities, the Tall Ships will indeed be docking in Boston Harbor from July 9-12. The annual regatta offers visitors the opportunity to tour the fleet of more than 40 ships hailing from Brazil to the Netherlands.

This year, Sail Boston will entertain its younger audience with educational programs focusing on US and international maritime history. Cadets and crewmembers will be available to educate children of all ages of their personal experiences at sea, home countries, and more.
