You will have the opportunity to experience some maritime history later this summer as the Tall Ships will be returning to Sturgeon Bay. The event will bring a handful of schooners and vessels to dock along the channel in Sturgeon Bay for ship tours and photo opportunities. Destination Sturgeon Bay Executive Director Camryn Ehlers-Kwaterski says the organization is excited to welcome the Tall Ships back after a six-year hiatus. She says the event is part of Tall Ships America travels and will feature the “Liberty Clipper,” “Pride of Baltimore II,” and “When and If,” as well as the Great Lakes schooner “Utopia” which was designed by Fred J. Peterson of Peterson Builders, Inc. in Sturgeon Bay.
Ehlers says the Tall Ships appearance in Sturgeon Bay will coincide with the Door County Maritime Museum’s Classic & Wooden Boat Show from August 1 through August 3, with the Tall Ships arriving on Thursday, July 31. Ticket purchases for experiencing a sail away with the Tall Ships will be available in late or early May, according to Ehlers-Kwaterski.
