This year Freeport will once again welcome the men and women of the United States Naval Academy Sail Training squadron to our Nautical . Mile for a four-day visit. The Annapolis midshipmen, sailing six single-mast Navy vessels.
On Saturday, August 12, the sailboats crewed by 80 midshipmen and their instructors will dock at the Esplanade on the Nautical Mile at approximately 6:30 p.m. The Annapolis visitors will spend a long weekend in the village, visiting New York City and Jones Beach, along with other well-known attractions before leaving Tuesday, August 15.
While here, the sailboats will be open to the public from noon to 4 p.m. for tours Sunday and Monday, August 13 and 14. The midshipmen will provide information and answer questions about the academy's four-year college program.
The visit by the Naval Academy's sail training vessels, which has made Freeport's Nautical Mile on Woodcleft Avenue a port-of-call for the past nine years, is a major attraction for local residents and tourists.
The six sailboats, docked at the Esplanade and crewed by the male and female midshipmen, provide a pleasant summer destination for visitors to the waterfront and offer an opportunity to experience the revitalized Nautical Mile.
Visitors enjoyed tours of the Annapolis sailboats docked on the Esplanade during last year's trip.
