With the Parade of Sail over, the welcome fleet returned.
Nine tall ships sailed under Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge on Thursday afternoon during the Parade of Sail, marking the start of Tall Ships Duluth 2013. The majestic vessels will be in the harbor until Monday for dockside viewing, ship tours and two-hour sailaways. The event is expected to draw 250,000 people and generate as much as $15 million for the local economy, along with an untold number of priceless memories.
LSM photographers were spread out on the piers – and even atop the Great Lakes Aquarium – to capture the spectacle. View our slideshow above to see the ships sailing into the harbor, and keep an eye on our Superior Notes blog over the weekend for more from the festival.
