Sail Boston released the full list of ship names and locations for the July 11-16 festival, where ships from around the globe will tie up in Charlestown, Downtown Boston, and across Boston’s Seaport District.
Ship Locations
The Seaport will host ships within walking distance of the Sail Boston Festival, located at 302 Northern Avenue. The Amerigo Vespucci of Italy and Libertad of Argentina will rest just steps from the Festival.
A temporarily built “Wharf 8” will be accessible by the Boston Harborwalk behind the Leader Bank Pavilion, and host Ernestina Morrissey (the State Ship of Massachusetts), Juan Bautista Cambiaso of the Dominican Republic, Lynx from Nantucket, and HMS Gladen from Sweden.
Class A ships Gorch Fock of Germany, Sudarshini of India, and Sagres from Portugal will be berthed at the historic Boston Fish Pier, while the two largest ships in the fleet, BAP Union of Peru and Esmerelda from Chile, will highlight the ships berthed at the newly refurbished Commonwealth Pier.
Charlestown will host 18 ships, including Mircea from Romania and Dar Młodzieży from Poland at Pier 4, and U.S. Coast Guard Eagle behind the Constitution at Pier 1.
Rowes Wharf at the Boston Harbor Hotel will host Oosterschelde of the Netherlands and Kalmar Nyckel of Delaware, while the Moakley Courthouse will host nine ships from the East Coast, and mostly from Massachusetts.
Fan Pier will host four ships, including the Mayflower II from Plymouth and Elissa from Texas. The gray-hulled USS Arlington will be located at Black Falcon Cruise Terminal and joined by TS Patriot State, the official training vessel of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.
Ship viewing from the piers is open from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. from July 12-15, and ship boarding is widely welcomed within these windows and at the captains’ discretion.
