ABOUT THE PARADE OF SAILS, A GLOBAL TRADITION
The Parade of Sails is a maritime event that showcases tall ships and other sailing vessels in a celebratory procession, often held as part of prominent maritime festivals or regattas. These events promote maritime heritage, foster international goodwill, and allow the public to learn about and appreciate historic and modern sailing ships.
In a typical Parade of Sails, participating vessels sail in a coordinated procession, usually along a waterfront, allowing spectators to witness the beauty and grandeur of these ships up close. The parade often includes tall ships, which are large, traditionally-rigged sailing vessels, and other sailing ships, like classic yachts, naval vessels, and replicas of historic ships.
Some of the most famous Parade of Sails events are part of larger festivals, such as:
The event has featured multiple parades of sails in various US ports, with the most recent one held in 2012 to commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the writing of the US national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." These events offer a unique opportunity for people to learn about maritime history, experience the beauty of sailing vessels, and engage with sailors from different countries and cultures.
