The Door County Maritime Museum will host Cannon Salute & Breakfast Under the Big Top in conjunction with the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Parade of Sail in Sturgeon Bay on the morning of Thursday, August 12.

Foreign ships slated to participate in the parade are the Roald Amundsen from Germany and Europa from the Netherlands. In addition the Lynx, Appledore IV, and Royaliste, along with movie favorite H.M.S. Bounty are expected to participate in the parade.
