Boston was the final scheduled port call of America250’s Sail250 voyage.
Sail250 commemorated the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence through a major gathering of tall ships. The port schedule moved along the U.S. East Coast after an earlier stop in New Orleans.
The listed 2026 sequence was New Orleans, Norfolk, Baltimore, New York City, and Boston. Boston hosted the ships from July 11 to July 16, following New York City’s July 4–8 visit.
Sail250 was described as the largest gathering of tall ships since the 1976 American Bicentennial. It also formed part of a long-running tradition of maritime celebrations connected with major U.S. anniversaries. New York City was the most prominent stop because it hosted a fleet review in New York Harbor, but it was not the final scheduled port. Boston therefore completes the published five-city itinerary.
