Happy Friday! To start your day right, here is another another "Know Ship" fact!

Many of the world's most famous tall ships were designed to be fast, especially those used in trading or military expeditions. Though faster vessels have been built over the past few centuries, there's still nothing like seeing a tall ship sail into a harbor at full speed. ⚓

It's the middle of the week, and we have a new wor

It's the middle of the week, and we have a new word of the day for you to help you make it to the weekend! Today's word is "Crow's Nest, a small lookout platform, usually at the top of the mast, where the lookout can spot other ships or land.

We hate to break the news, but it's "knot" Friday

We hate to break the news, but it's "knot" Friday yet... to keep you occupied in the meantime we have another sailing knot to learn about ⚓

Today's knot is the Ashley Stopper knot. This particular knot can be used to prevent rope from falling through a narrow passage and its trefoil structure makes it bulkier and more secure than other common stopper knots. 🪢

We're excited to follow the journey of Tall Ship Sagres today as it celebrates Portugal Day in the city of Lagos, Portugal. The Portuguese ship was docked in front of Praça da Liberdade, in Viana do Castelo throughout late May, but arrived in Lagos in time for today's festivities. In celebration, six ships of the Portuguese Republic participated in a Naval Parade today. The parade included 332 military personnel and 36 cadets from the Naval School on board.

We love to see ships come together in celebration ⛵

It's National Fishing and Boating Week - the perfect time to brush up on your nautical knowledge with another "Know Ship" fact.

What we now call tall ships were once referred to as "ships of the line" during the 17th and 18th centuries. These large vessels earned their name as they formed a battle line during the Age of the Sail.

A little-known fact for your Friday!

We have a new word of the day for you! Today's word is "Jib" - a small, triangular sail ahead of a boat's mast. It is important for the steering, balance, and propulsion of the vessel. The Jib works together with the main sail in order to help boats smoothly change direction.

Curious about what the tall ships are up to this w

We love to keep up with @dutchtallship and her crew members on their adventures. After recently exploring Cape Town and paying a visit to St. Helena, the dutch tall ship Oosterschelde is continuing her epic two year global journey.

Boasting an impressive 118 feet in mast height and 164 feet in length, Oosterschelde has made two around the world voyages, visiting more than 50 countries across five continents.

We are observing the journey and are excited to welcome the ship and crew to Sail Boston 2026 to learn about their adventures⚓️

It's time to plan your trip to The Big Easy because Sail250® New Orleans is officially a year away! ⚓

Next year, the Port of New Orleans will be the first stop for a tour of Tall Ships to commemorate America's 250th anniversary! The free event will include a flotilla of ships from all across the globe, ship tours, fireworks, and so much more. We're delighted to be a part of Sail250® and can't wait to celebrate America's semiquincentennial with NOLA and our other sister cities.

Visit the Sail250® New Orleans website to plan your trip and let the good times roll! 🎷 🎉

We know you might already be looking forward to the end of the week, but we have to let you know it's Knot Friday! To loosen the grip of such overwhelming disappointment, here is another knot for you to learn.

The "Figure 8" knot provides a quick and convenient stopper knot that is used in sailing, climbing, etc. It can be undone easily and provides the foundation for more complicated knots such as the "Figure 8 Double Loop."
