The Coast Guard will clear the way for tall ships on the Great Lakes

The Coast Guard is creating temporary "safety zones" around tall ships visiting the Great Lakes in 2025. This means other boats will have to stay clear of the tall ships during their race series.

The Coast Guard is making sure that large, old sailing ships can move safely through busy waterways. This allows these ships to participate in public events without risking collisions with smaller, more maneuverable vessels. It's a small but necessary step to enable these events to happen.
