Last weekend, Oliver Hazard Perry, America’s newest and largest civilian sailing school ship sailed into Portland harbor in Maine on her maiden voyage, to participate in the Tall Ships Portland 2015 festival, which wrapped up yesterday. Based in Newport, RI, the ship is the first ocean-going full rigged ship to be built in the United States in 110 years.
