With more than 20,000 square feet of sail and thousands of nautical miles between them, the three tall ships — the U.S. Brig Niagara, the Pride of Baltimore II and the Madeline — will drop anchor at the Harbor Drive docking area behind the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center Thursday, July 31. The U.S. Brig Niagara and the Pride of Baltimore II are replicas of the War of 1812 clipper ships, while the schooner Madeline is modeled after an 1840s freighter.
All three majestic vessels will be available for tours on Aug. 1, 2, and 3 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Special thanks to our Maritime Festival major sponsors including title sponsor Owens Yacht Sales, Inc., which presents the U.S. Brig Niagara; the Duluth Seaway Port Authority brings you the Pride of Baltimore II; the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Downtown Waterfront presents the Madeline.
