Opsail - U.S. Navy Event

Operation Sail is a non-profit organization dedicated to sail-training and promoting goodwill among nations. Through the production of international tall ship events, OpSail strives to commemorate American maritime history.

This 2012, for the first time ever, OpSail and the U.S. Navy have formed an official partnership. This agreement enables both the U.S. Navy and OpSail to pursue OpSail 2012 Goals: the promotion of international goodwill and the U.S. Navy’s Seapower for the 21st Century initiatives. Working together with the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), OpSail 2012 will commemorate the bicentennial of the War of 1812 and “The Star-Spangled Banner”.
