Tall Ships Battle Off Long Beach

The tall ships Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washington will be exchanging canon fire for the next two weekends off the coast of Long Beach. The public can board the two vessels for the three hour Battle Sails as the ships volley for the best position to fire their guns. Sunday morning the ships will also take a three hour adventure cruise - minus the fireworks. During the week the two tall ships will stay in in port providing educational tours for school classes during the day. They will be open to the public for tours from 4 to 5 pm.
