Fleet of 20 tall ships to race across Great Lakes this summer
Something to keep your eye out for this summer - at least 20 tall ships are scheduled to visit each of the Great Lakes, including a replica Viking longship and a 170-foot Spanish Galleon. The fleet will set sail on the lakes between July and September, with scheduled stops and races on Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron, Michigan and Superior. Port stops usually entail a festival with music, food and tours of the boats open to the public. The entire roster has yet to be announced, but the fleet will make port at least 8 times in the Great Lakes this summer.
