On Thursday, July 27 2023 a parade of Tall Ships, local fisherman, and recreational boaters from around the world will pass between Peirce (yes) Island and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

The size and proportions of which will be remembered as the standard for such events going forward. (Think walking across the decks of the boats from NH to Maine and not getting wet!)

Portsmouth NH 400 says:

We are looking to gather all interested “Blessers” who would like to participate in this fantastic occasion. A truly unique event, the anticipated participation is most likely less than an hour with a gathering on Peirce Island to bless the fleet as it passes in front of you. The naval parade is anticipated to gather and begin around the 2KR buoy at approximately 6:35 p.m.

Please let us know if you are interested in participating in this, truly, once in a lifetime event.”
