Upcoming Port Visits
Each year the Appledores make a limited number of special visits to waterfront celebrations and maritime events.
In the summer of 2008 the APPLEDORE IV will be sailing up Lake Huron for two visits to East Tawas Michigan, and also over to Lake Michigan to Port Washington, Wisconsin. The APPLEDORE V will be taking part in five different events on Lake Erie, then heading north to the top of Lake Huron for Labor Day Weekend at Mackinac Island. Come see the ships and get onboard for a sail!
