Boston, USA 8 - 13 July Boston, the largest city in New England, successfully hosted the Tall Ships when they visited North America in 1992 and 2000. Boston’s role in shaping American history is unique among all other cities. It is where the Revolution was conceived and began. It is the site of the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Bunker Hill, The Old North Church and Paul Revere’s house. Boston has history on every corner. Blending in with its old colonial charm is a wide array of diverse and interesting attractions for visitors. Museums, concert halls and nightclubs abound. The internationally acclaimed Museum of Fine Arts, the Museum of Science, and the John F. Kennedy Library are but a few. Boston’s cultural and entertainment options are bountiful. Apart from its abundant historic sites, museums, cultural and educational facilities, Boston’s revitalised waterfront and downtown areas offer numerous opportunities for receiving and entertaining officers, crews and trainees. It is expected that the over five million visitors who viewed the Tall Ships in 2000 will be exceeded in the year 2009. Back to Course and other host ports...
