Ships to Shore Steveston 2013

AdventuressHistory, adventure and fun will sail back into Richmond for Ships to Shore Steveston 2013.

For the third year in a row, you can relive the days when Richmond's Steveston Village was a major port-of-call for fleets of sailing ships from around the world.

This year's Ships to Shore event is moving right into Steveston Village. A small flotilla of tall ships and other sailing ships and historical vessels of note will be on display and available for free public boarding at Imperial Landing. Select ships will also be offering day sails (paid tickets required).

Feature vessels include the majestic and historic schooner Adventuress, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2013 and the HMCS Oriole, the Canadian Navy's sail training vessel and longest-serving commissioned ship.

The site is just a few minutes walk from Steveston Park, home of the Steveston Salmon Festival, Canada's biggest little birthday party! There will be something fun to do for everyone:

  • Free public viewing and on-board tours and other activities to be announced.
  • Expand the fun by visiting the Steveston Salmon Festival, one of the region's most popular and longest running Canada Day celebrations on Monday, July 1.
