The Greenport Tall Ships Festival will feature six ships, with the highlight centering on the arrival of France’s L’Hermione, a recreation of a sailing vessel making a symbolic journey across the Atlantic to commemorate General LaFayette’s voyage in 1780 — celebrating the strong ties between the United States and France. Joining the L’Hermione will be the Picton Castle, Sagres, Lynx, AJ Meerwald and Kalmar Nyckel.
