Batten down the hatches, because Sail Boston 2026 is making history!
Join fellow Hopkins alums and friends for a rare opportunity to tour the naval vessel, USS Arlington (LPD-24) as part of Sail Boston 2026, a once-in-a-lifetime maritime celebration honoring America's 250th birthday.
Our exclusive morning tour will begin promptly at 11:00 am on July 12th.This is your chance to step aboard an active U.S. Navy amphibious transport dock ship and experience naval operations up close with fellow alumni.
Once the tour is complete, participants are welcome to spend the rest of the day exploring Boston or enjoying additional Sail offerings, such as viewing and boarding the Tall Ships at various piers. Known as America’s Walking City, Boston is home to some of the nation’s most important Revolutionary-era sites, including the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile route past 16 historic landmarks, from Boston Common to Bunker Hill, near the Charlestown Navy Yard and the home of the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned ship afloat in the world.
