9TH ANNUAL TALL SHIPS TOUR
OCTOBER 2004 THRU FEBRUARY 2005
In 1996 the Tall Ships, HAWAIIAN CHIEFTAIN & LADY
WASHINGTON set sail from the San Francisco Bay on a mission to
bring history alive for Californian school kids. The VOYAGES OF
DISCOVERY 4th & 5th grade sailing & dockside education
programs give present day students an insight into the lives of 18th
century sailors and explorers. To date, over 100,000 participants
have enjoyed that hands-on experience.
The ships are replicas of 1700’s period vessels and will visit 15
ports on the six month long, ninth annual TALL SHIPS TOUR which
began in Sausalito on October 24th, 2004.
People of all ages can indulge in a taste of maritime history on
Dockside Tours of the ships guided by the enthusiastic costumed crews.
Interactive Adventure Sail Training and Cannon Battle Reenactment Sails
are available in each port and berths can also be booked on Port to Port
Passages.
A highlight of the Tour is the LONG BEACH SEA FESTIVAL
scheduled for January 8 & 9, 2005. The impressive list of
participating vessels includes HAWAIIAN CHIEFTAIN, LADY
WASHINGTON, CALIFORNIAN, LYNX, SPIRIT OF DANA POINT & SWIFT OF
IPSWICH. The Festival will feature Dockside Tours of all
the ships and Cannon Battle Reenactment Sails.
At the Festival close, there is a unique opportunity for passengers
to sail aboard the ships on a TALL SHIPS RACE. The race
course is from Long Beach to San Diego and finishes with a spectacular TALL
SHIPS PARADE into the San Diego Maritime Museum on January 12.
