The vessels are bound for the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival Aug. 13-15 in Green Bay. Foreign ships slated to participate in the parade are the Roald Amundsen from Germany and Europa from the Netherlands. In addition the Lynx, Appledore IV, Friends Good Will, Unicorn, Wisconsin’s flagship Denis Sullivan, Pride of Baltimore, Roseway, Le Revenante, Royaliste and movie favorite H.M.S.
