Nicolet Bank Tall Ships Festival took place Monday and Tuesday this week, in both Sturgeon Bay and Algoma. The ships sailed into the bay from Green Bay, a majestic sight to behold, before docking for the night Monday and sailing into Lake Michigan waters Tuesday.

Photographer Len Villano and videographer Sam Kersebet hitched a ride on the brig Niagara for an in-person experience on the ships.
