This joint resolution commends Sail250 for its significant contributions to advancing goodwill among nations and its dedication to commemorating the historic role of maritime services in the American Revolution. Sail250, and its predecessors, have a long-standing tradition of partnering with every American President since John F. Kennedy to host international tall ship fleets, building on a legacy of celebrating major milestones in United States history. The organization is set to continue this tradition by gathering ships in five consortium ports to mark the nation's 250th anniversary of independence, with the President endorsing this vision. A highlight of these celebrations will be the grandest international tall ship parade in American history, hosted by the Port of New York and New Jersey, alongside an International Naval Review on July 4, 2026. This event, promising to be the largest gathering of tall ships and naval vessels, aims to foster international camaraderie. The resolution specifically commends Sail250 for its commitment to promoting America's rich maritime heritage and history, and encourages all Americans and global citizens to join in the celebration of the United States' 250th birthday and the international fellowship that Sail250 will cultivate.
