With over 20,000 square feet of sail and thousands of nautical miles between them, Duluth will welcome three "tall ships" into the harbor in celebration of Minnesota's 150th anniversary. The US Brig Niagara was built in 1988. It has propulsion engines and modern navigation equipment, but without modern amenities. During the summer, NIagara is sailed by a crew of 16 professionals, supplemented by 20 trainees willing to live out of a duffel bag.
