| Eagle, US Coast Guard |
Yesterday, Saturday June 17, the Sail Boston parade of Tall Ships was delayed about an hour because of heavy fog. We viewed the parade from the 26th floor observation deck of the Boston Custom tower, and from the 12th floor. The parade was led by the American coast guard tall ship Eagle, which docked at the Charlestown Navy Yard.
The tall ships will be in port in Boston until Thursday, June 22nd. You can view them in their berths from the Navy Yard all the way down to the seaport district at various wharves. You can visit them in their berths, walk the seaport and view them, or take a water tour which will take you up close to the ships. We did all three! Many seaport and waterfront restaurants have excellent views, too.

Those are awesome, I so wish I could go, suppose I could hop the train this week into Boston, but I don't know my way around and always hate that. Enjoyed your photos, thanks for sharing.
