SAVANNAH, GA (WTOC) -

The Savannah Historic Riverfront and Visit Savannah are set to host the 2012 Savannah Tall Ship Challenge in May. The two groups made the announcement Wednesday at the Ships of the Sea Museum. So far, 15 tall ships have confirmed that they will dock along River Street for the event.

"To have 14 to 15 ships be able to come into our city for a weekend and enjoy the Savannah experience as well as this magnificent event, it is really something that you are not going to be able to experience many times in your life," said Joseph Marinelli, Visit Savannah President.

The event even gives festival goers the opportunity to buy a private excursion on one of the ships.
