Tall ships from other countries all over the world have sailed to America, gathering near the New Jersey shore to be part of America’s 250th birthday celebrations.
In addition to being a sign of good will, these ships remind us of a past when tall ships ruled the waterways of America and other parts of the globe.
Their craftsmanship and beauty are truly something to behold.

Military allies, historic tall ships converge on New Jersey shores to launch America 250 celebrations
An international fleet of tall ships arrived on the shores of New Jersey Friday to mark a once-in-a-generation celebration of America’s semiquincentennial.
Organizers and officials gathered in Sandy Hook to outline the scope of the historic Sail4th 250 tribute.
“Nearly 250 years ago, it was here at Sandy Hook that George Washington’s army drove the British from New Jersey,” said Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a former naval officer. “It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed.”
The site is also home to the country’s oldest continuously lit lighthouse, which has guided maritime navigators since 1764.
The area is now preserved as part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, a 27,000-acre national park spanning New York and New Jersey that welcomes more than 9 million visitors annually.
Roughly 20 nations have dispatched their premier tall ships to participate in the celebration, with vessels arriving from as far away as Italy, India, Peru, Poland, Spain and Sweden.

This video is all about our U.S. Coast Guard ship the Eagle.
You don’t see a ship like this every day.
