The first of more than 40 Tall Ships motored through the rainy fog of Boston Harbor this morning for Sail Boston 2009. The Libertad, a 356-foot full-rigged ship from Buenos Aires, led the way.

A Tall Ship from Salem that had been scheduled partake in the festivities has canceled because of a rot problem. Friendship, a 104-foot replica of a 1797 merchant ship, will remain drydocked until repairs are completed.
"That was unfortunately beyond their control, and beyond our control," said Sheila Green, a Sail Boston spokeswoman.
Tours of the Tall Ships will begin at wharfs and piers in Boston Harbor on Thursday morning. For a full schedule and map of where the ships will dock, click here. The Libertad will tie up to the World Trade Center in South Boston.
