An international fleet of tall ships arrived on the shores of New Jersey to celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary
It’s like going back in time
It was a historical location gathering, "Nearly 250 years ago, it was here at Sandy Hook that George Washington's army drove the British from New Jersey” - Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a former naval officer
“It was from this day that the last British ships of the Revolutionary War departed."
The site is also home to America’s oldest continuously lit lighthouse, which has guided maritime navigators since 1764
