Tall Ship War is Declared on San Diego Bay

Tall Ships Recreate 19th Century Naval Warfare



EMBARCADERO—It’s time again for all aspiring “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Master and Commanders” to board their ships and head out on San Diego Bay for thrilling cannon battle reenactments. The revenue cutter Californian will be defending the harbor from the Amazing Grace. You and your crew are invited on board to experience the thrill of combat at sea during the age of sail! Join the crew in defending your ship, raise the sails, heave on the lines, or just sit back and relax and watch the action.

Cannon battle reenactments will take place on two weekends February 26 & 27 or March 12 & 13, 2011 from 12:30 – 3:30 p.m. Ships depart from the Maritime Museum of San Diego on the Embarcadero. Tickets are from $35-$55. (Cannon battles are loud and are not recommended for small children.) Advance tickets are available on the museum’s website at www.sdmaritime.org. The public can call: 619-234-9153 ext. 101 for more information. Tickets include same-day admission to the Maritime Museum.
