Viewers of all ages turned out for the first visit of the tall ships to Boston since 1992.
Robert and Sheri Boroda of Newton, Mass., brought their daughters Jackie, 11, and Sasha, 2, to watch the procession.
Jackie, who also saw the ships in 1992, described them as "impressive."
Sasha, on the other hand, "is enjoying the airplanes more than anything else," said her mother, referring to the jets landing at Logan International Airport that roared over the harbor repeatedly throughout the day.
Predictably, the event drew sailing aficionados from all over New England.
"We love the sea, anything to do with it," said Chan Chandler of Durham, N.H. Chandler, who took a vacation day to be able to attend the parade, praised the "beautiful" weather but said he wished more of the sails could have been up.
Some spectators had minor complaints, but the overall reaction to the ships was overwhelmingly positive.
"I've enjoyed it," said Carolyn Spiros of Needham, Mass. "There was a little bit of a lag [between the ships], but the ones that have come through have been great."
