A fleet of twelve tall ships will make their way to Upstate New York this summer - and you can even board them.

The ships will sail across Canada and the United States, racing through the Great Lakes. They are expected to arrive in Buffalo, NY between July 4 and July 7, marking their first appearance at the Port of Buffalo.
