Visit the Tall Ships!
Tall Ships are living memories of another era. They bespeak the adventures of nautical exploration and trade and the dangers and rewards of war at a time when far-flung people and countries discovered one another by crossing the sea.

You now have the opportunity to board and view four (4) of these magnificent ships to find out for your self what it must have been like in those days.

One of the four is the HMS Bounty, the star of the 1962 movie “Mutiny on the Bounty” with Marlon Brando. She has just finished undergoing a $1 million restoration, and the Fiesta is her first public showing!

Follow the “Tall Ships” signs...to Rowe Square
