Every year, just before the city streets shut down for the Rose Parade, the bridges raise for a parade of ships that floats up the Willamette River to join in the festivities held at Waterfront Park. The event is actually comprised of two separate fleets, the Tall Sailing Ships and the Naval Fleet. Frigates, patrol boats, destroyers, and cutters, double and triple dock up to the sea wall and allow civilians to board for free tours. The United States Navy, Coast Guard, Army and the Royal Canadian Navy are represented in the fleet of more than a dozen ships. Watch the fleet along Tom McCall Waterfront Park's esplanade seawall from the Steel Bridge to Waterfront Village.
