Grab your sun hats and strap em' on tight, for you are in for some strong breeze! This weekend, tall ships and naval vessels from across the world will be coming to Boston to mark the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and the role of the USS Constitution in the conflict. A fleet of 120 ships have been invited to be in Boston from June 30 to July 6, 2012. This is a great opportunity to get your Boston history fix. Here are just a few things that will be going on:
Boston Tea Party Reenactment Sail $35/24
Sail back in history. Hear how the Sons of Liberty took three British ships, how John Hancock's sloop Liberty pestered the British and how Dutch tea was smuggled into Boston. Throw tea in the Harbor! Fire the cannons!
Boston Harbor Sail $30/19
Come aboard our Tall Ship for a Boston Harbor cruise and relive the days of Boston's Tall Ships. Explore Boston Harbor for an afternoon sail. Take the wheel! Set the sails! Or just sit back and enjoy the experience on our Boston Harbor cruises.

Rum, Revolution and Tall Ships Sail $35
