Episode Details

New York City is gearing up for a maritime spectacle as Class B tall ships parade down the East River this Friday, offering a sneak peek ahead of the grand “Sail4th 250” event this Saturday — part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. The smaller vessels have been arriving over the past few days, setting the stage for Saturday’s massive parade sailing north on the Hudson River from the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge to the George Washington Bridge. Military ships will review the fleet, with the Vice President and acting Secretary of the Navy watching from the USS Kearsarge. Thousands are expected to line the waterfront — and while Friday’s event requires no security, Saturday’s festivities will have checkpoints at viewing spots.
