The Tall Ships are coming to Boston! July 8 - 13, 2009.
FYI, If anyone will be or can be in Boston this July, the tall ships are coming back. See info at http://www.sailboston.com/
It's a spectacular sight. I hope the weather is good that week!

Thanks for posting this. There has been lots of talks about funding this event and that it may not happen; but looks like it got the green light.

Jaya, I was just thinking of doing the same (ttt) earlier today! I think I'll head out on Thursday the 9th. That's the first day when the public can check out the ships.
For anyone who's interested, the full schedule is now available on the website in the first post.

Wow--thanks so much for posting this news as we'll be on NH seacoast from 7/11-18 and were planning a day trip to Boston--we were leaning towards the 14th but now with this info, we'll go sooner to see the ships. What luck!

OMG, it's such a gorgeous day today, and the Tall Ships are beautiful!!!
I went to see a bunch at Rowes Wharf, then later to Charlestown Navy Yard and boarded the Eagle. There were a few others that one can board, but the line was moving too slowly for me, so I gave up.
If you have some spare time Fri/Sat/Sun, please stop by and check them out. The weather is supposed to be nice the rest of the week!
Here are a couple of pics I took:
Europa docked @ Rowes Wharf:
