Several Tall Ships will be visiting San Pedro harbor this weekend, including the 122 foot Lynx, which was used to train the cast and crew of the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". The Lynx was modeled after a naval square topsail schooner from the War of 1812, She will be joined by the square rigged brigantines Exy Johnson and Irving Hohnson. The ships will be docked adjacent to the Los Angeles Maritime Museum at Sixth Street and Harbor Boulvevard in San Pedro.
The Lynx will sail into the harbor at 3:00 pm Friday afternoon, and will be available for dockside tours from 4 to 5 pm Friday and ao am to 1 pm Saturday and Sunday. Suggested donations are $5 adults and children 12 and younger free. Visitors can also sign up to participate as crew members for an actual mock battle, where they can help steer the ship, help hoist the sails, and fire the cannons in a mock sail battle with the other tall ships. Battle sails are scheduled from 2 to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday. The cost to participate in the battle sails is $65 for adults and $35 for children 12 and younger.
