An introduction to the ships making a stop at this year's Tall Ships Festival.
The Small Ships Parade serves as the lead-up to Saturday's "Sail4th 250" event, which is expected to draw large crowds to the city's waterfront.
The 1877 Tall Ship Elissa embarked on its three-month voyage from Galveston to New York for Sail4th, an event celebrating America's 250th anniversary.
It's not 1492, yet this tall ship has sailed to the New World with history lessons in tow.
The final day of the Tall Ships festival is underway at Penn's Landing and after Saturday's storms, visitors say they are ready to soak up the sun and set sail.
It's been 15 years since the tall ships sailed into our harbor, and on Thursday that majestic sight returned.
