The Beefeater Guide to the ~The Tall Ships are coming..." These magnificent sailing ships come from the world's four corners to pay tribute to the Bicentennial of the American Republic, a nation born of the sea. They come here in the greatest sailing ship race ever held, ships from England, France, Russia, Poland, Italy, Norway ... in all, some 6,000 sail training cadets from 30 nations will come to the United States aboard these ships.

Following the race, which ends in Newport, the ships will visit New York and other ports.
