7/4/98
Savannah Welcomes
Americas' Sail '98
Americas' Sail '98 is an international tall ship sailing competition. The event is scheduled to start on 7/6/98 near Savannah (off of Tybee Island) and end in Long Island, New York. Ships docked in Savannah for the event include the Eagle, a US Coast Guard sail training ship, the Libertad of Argentina and the Simon Bolivar of Venezuela - current America's Sail title holder. The HMS Rose (no picture) was also scheduled to participate but bad weather kept her away...
This is a spectacular event for Savannah on the nation's birthday. These tall ships docked in Savannah (with much ceremony) on 7/3/98 and will be heading for a sailing event when they depart. Visitors along Savannah's River Street have a double treat on this birthday weekend as it is also First Saturday, a monthly event with sidewalk food, vendors, live entertainment and lots of people having a generally excellent time.
