All aboard! Erie's 2025 tall ship season begins, Lettie G. to sail this weekend
The Lette G. Howard crew is back in action for the 2025 season, and its captain is encouraging the public to join them.
The tall ship leaves the dock for a 6:30 p.m. sunset sail on Friday.
It will also sail at 1:30 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Captain William Sabatini said it should be ideal conditions to get on the water.

He said the ship was built in 1893, and joining a voyage is like stepping back into time.
'To be out there and feel the ship and when the engines shut down and all you can hear is the sound of the wind and the sound of the water and the ship starts to heel over just a little bit and you're really just operating under the power of the wind it's a really powerful experience,' said Captain Sabatini.
Next week, school excursions and learn to sail programs will begin.
