Tall Ship Parade Kicks Off SF Bay Festival Of Sail

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / KCBS) ― A four day celebration of the Bay Area's maritime history began Wednesday with a parade of tall ships that sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge to dock at piers near the Ferry Building.

The first ship crossed under the Golden Gate Bridge at noon kicking up a rooster tail of water. The ships themselves open to the public for tours at 10 a.m. Thursday.

Other scheduled activites at the Festival of Sail include mock cannon battles, as well as more serious explorations of the voluntary and involuntary migrations previous generations made by sea to American shores.
