Led by the iconic USS Constitution, the fleet included global giants like Portugal’s Sagres and Argentina’s ARA Libertad, alongside beloved American vessels like the Elissa and the Gloucester schooner Adventure. Visitors flocked to free onboard tours, with most ships open for exploration by 5 PM Saturday, and viewing hours stretching from 10 AM to 10 PM daily until July 16. The festivities aren’t over — expect fireworks over Fan Pier, Coast Guard helicopter demos, ship crew parades, and even an international cadet soccer tournament, culminating in a patriotic concert at the Hatch Shell on Wednesday night. It’s a week of history, spectacle, and pure nautical spirit right on Boston’s waterfront. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
