After a grand display of tall ships out of the 19th Century on Saturday, Sail Boston continued Sunday.
The day’s events were dedicated to visiting the ships — from Nova Scotia to India — that are currently docked around Boston Harbor. (See the schedule below.)
Saturday’s Parade of Sail, with dozens of tall ships touring past Boston’s waterfront, had spectators stunned.
But the party continues through Wednesday, and more than four million people are expected to have taken part by then.

NBC10 Boston had crews stationed across the Harbor on Sunday where more than 50 tall ships were docked and waiting for spectators to board them.
Oscar Margain joined us from the BAP Unión, which traveled all the way from Peru. This is one of the word’s newest sail training vessels. The ship’s communication officer tells us the Peruvian Navy ship has 78 cadets on board who are trained everyday, and they will be glad to have people visit the vessel this week to learn about not only the ship, but also Peruvian culture.
Later Sunday, Mary Markos was also aboard the BAP Unión, where people were lining up to board. Once on the ship, they were taking photos at the wheel and touring a room down below with scenes from the different biomes of Peru — the jungle, the highlands and the mountainous regions. This crew has been at sea for about two months straight, and it will be another three months before they get to go home. But while they’re here in Boston, they’re teaching people about their culture.
“I always mention the food,” Midshipman Juan Abuhadba said. “Maybe it’s something they can go to Peru and try that food.”
On board the ARC Gloria, the crew tells us it’s always a party. Plus, we met some crew members from the biggest Polish sailing ship a few piers down, Dar Młodzieży.
Something the crews all have in common is a love for sailing and a strong sense of pride.
Bianca Beltrán was at Fan Pier to give us a sneak peak of the Spirit of Bermuda, which was built in 2006 specifically for sail training and youth education through the Bermuda Sloop Foundation.
Captain Mario Swainson, who learned how to sail through that program, is now teaching young people the same way he learned.
“Teamwork and communication is the main thing,” Swainson said of what kids learn. “Everyone has a job, everyone has a purpose and then also you learn to work together. Even if you have one job, you still help someone else to get their job done. The mission is just to get the ship in safe all the time.”
Swainson said it’s good to see kids get access to this kind of experience, including those who have never even been on a boat.
“Just going to sea, just being around the ocean for the first time is amazing for them,” he said.
While ships from across the world have traveled to Boston for this week’s festivities, a lot of them are actually from right here in New England.
The USS Constitution is headquartered at the Charlestown Navy Yard. Docked next to it for now, as Matt Prichard told us, is the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle — which is known as “America’s Tall Ship.” It was originally commissioned for the German Navy but was taken as war reparations after World War II for the United States.

What visitors are saying
Millions are expected to make their way into Boston to see the international tall ships, and Sunday saw huge crowds pour into the city to tour those docked all around the harbor. Many who talked to NBC10 Boston said it was a day of learning.
Seven-year-old Harrison was exploring his first tall ship that came all the way from the Netherlands.
“How much people have to pull sail up,” Harrison asked the crew.
“We try to have as many people as possible,” the crew member answered.
Mieke van der Werk is a crew member on the Osterschelde from the Netherlands.
“I think we all felt in love with Boston. Straight away,” he said. “People are nice, relaxed.”
The crowds were impressive all weekend — really putting a lot of wind in the sales for small businesses.
Paige Pasley helped 40 small businesses from across the city get in front of these crowds.
“It’s been amazing energy throughout the whole summer, I think just celebrating the nation, celebrating our diversity, celebrating our culture,” said Pasley.
College Hype out of Dorchester could barely keep up with tall ship fans like 2-year-old Brigid, who loved the Shipping up to Boston t-shirt.
“That has kind of been the shirt people want,” said Evan Doherty of College Hype. “I feel like millions of people out there today.”
People of all ages were taking in the history.
“America’s great story. The boats are a great story. We are here to celebrate it,” said Dean McKinnon of Weymouth.
The ships will be around for a few more days. The hours are a little sporadic – because some of the ships are also doing private events. But they are down here, and, if open, they are free to board.
Five Sisters Race
On Sunday, they announced the official results of the Five Sisters Race.
Germany’s Gorch Fock won in a time of 7:26:52 and the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle finished second in 8:04:35.
They’re nearly identical square rigged tall ships. It was the first time they sailed together in 50 years.
