have to be a sailor to appreciate the masts, sails and rigging – they are as

What is a Tall Ship? A “Tall Ship” is not a strictly defined type of sailing craft. For most people, the term defines the Golden Age of

Sail – the old-style majestic ships with square rigs. We almost always think of ships with three or more masts and many sails. A Tall Ship can actually be on any number of differently rigged sailing vessels. Popular modern tall ship rigs include topsail schooners, brigantines, brigs and barques. Traditional rigging may include square rigs and gaff rigs, with separate topmasts and topsails. The actual rig of a specific sailing vessel known as a Tall Ship is dependent on the number and cut of the sails as well as their alignment.

Why are the Tall Ships in Kenosha ?

The City of Kenosha has partnered with Tall Ships America to help bring the TALL SHIPS CHALLENGE® to the Great Lakes. Tall Ships Americas mission is to encourage character building through sail training, promote sail training to the North American public, and support education under sail. This is done in part by bringing the Tall Ships to port cities so that the general public can learn more about their programs which includes environmental science, leadership learning, and innovation. For the host cities, the arrival of the fleet provides economic impact, tourism, a focus on the waterfront and work-force enhancement and development.
