Buffalo, NY (WBEN) For the first time, Buffalo will host a parade of tall ships this Fourth of July. The following day, you'll get a chance to tour those ships.
Vogel says you can buy a passport to tour as many of the ships as you wish on July 5th. "It's basically a day pass. You choose the day, and once aboard, you can talk to crew and captains, take a look around the vessels and enjoy the maritime experience," says Vogel. Passports are $20 each, with military and children's discounts.
Vogel says Tall Ships America has been trying to recruit Buffalo for years. "It was not difficult to land it, but it's difficult to organize it and pull it off. There are federal regulations for security, and logistics and provisioning so it's a massive undertaking," sasy Vogel.
