Duluth will host it's second tall ship festival this summer. The festival that was very well attended last year looks for the same this year. The festival last year had some criticism of how it handled or did not handle the large crowds. Visit Duluth hopes to have that problem dealt with this year.
This years festival was to have nine ships. Now one of the ships will not be able
to make it to Duluth for the event, that is being held July 29th to Au guest 1st. The Amistad will not sail to Duluth because of damage done to it in the Caribbean. The ship is now being worked on but will not be ready in time to make it's commitment to Duluth.
Gene Shaw of visit Duluth said "It's a sad situation because I think everyone was looking forward to it coming." The ship is a replica of a slave rebellion ship.

I thought it was sort of weird that people were looking forward to a slave ship coming to town.
