Tall Ships Chicago August 28, 2010

Tall Ships(R) Chicago will highlight Chicago's rich maritime history, and emphasize the role of the river and lake in the city's birth and development. Located on more than 500,000 square feet of festival grounds including the Chicago River, from Wabash Avenue to Lake Shore Drive, NavyPier(R) and DuSable Harbor, this year's festival promises to be a display of vessels reminiscent of the majestic lakefront of the 1800s.
