Quincy will welcome the historic Dutch tall ship Oosterschelde to Safe Harbor Marina Bay as part of the City’s ongoing America 250 commemorations.

The Oosterschelde, one of the world’s finest restored sailing vessels, will make a ceremonial arrival on Thursday, July 16, escorted into Marina Bay by the Quincy Police Marine Unit.

Public deck tours aboard the historic vessel will be offered on Friday, July 17, Saturday, July 18, and Sunday, July 19, giving residents and visitors a rare opportunity to step aboard a living piece of maritime history and experience one of the last authentic tall ships of its kind still sailing today.
