OC Might Host Historic Tall Ship Later This Summer

OCEAN CITY – An addition to Ocean City’s list of attractions is on the horizon for this summer with the proposal to bring the historical tall ship Nao Victorian Galeon to the area to provide tours and exhibits.

During this week’s Recreation and Parks Commission meeting, Special Events Superintendent Frank Miller presented a new special event request from Bryan Lilley of National Air, Sea & Space Foundation (NASSF) and Director of Development Steve Webster to dock the Spanish Navy’s tall ship Nao Victoria Galeon in Ocean City for a period of 30 days to add to the resort’s tourist experience. Miller worked with Lilley on recent OC Air Show events in Ocean City.

According to NASSF, the Galeon is a replica of the 16th century ships that Spanish explorers sailed on to discover Florida and much of the new world. The ship will provide an interactive tour, along with exhibits telling its history.
