Tall Ship Event Finalized For Aug.

The City Council gave formal approval this week to go ahead with plan to bring a 17th century sailing vessel to berth in downtown Ocean City at the end of the month.

“We had some changes in date, but as of now we’re back to the Aug. 20 to Sept. 2 timeframe,” city Special Events Director Frank Miller said.

The 170-foot-long vessel will be moored on along the bayside boardwalk, on Chicago Avenue from Third to Fourth streets. The northern, one-way portion of Chicago Avenue and the attached parking spaces will be closed and used for vendors, exhibits and staging tours of the ship itself.
