This summer, the romance of the high seas comes to Thunder Bay’s Lake Superior Day with a visit from the tall ship Sorlandet. Entry to Lake Superior Day is free and tickets for the Sorlandet tours will be sold on site for just $3 per person, under 3 years of age free. Guaranteed to bring out the Jack Sparrow in all of us, a deck tour aboard the Sorlandet is an experience not to be missed. The 57-metre (210 ft) fully rigged sailing ship is the oldest and largest fully rigged ship in operation today. She was built in 1927 in Norway and served as a training vessel for the Norwegian navy. She was later used for accommodations for German submariners in World War II. Currently, the ship hosts Class Afloat, an exclusive floating school offering a unique way to finish a high school diploma while visiting ports around the world.
