Parade Of Tall Ships On St. Clair River (GALLERY)

A replica of a Norwegian Viking longboat was upbound on the St. Clair River Wednesday afternoon.

The Dragon Harald Fairhair (Norwegian: Draken Harald Hårfagre) set sail for Bay City Michigan from Ohio despite a dispute over the payment of $400,000 in pilotage fees.

The vessel can be tracked online using the Tall Ships Challenge fleet tracker.

A number of tall ships have sailed up the St. Clair this week for a festival in Bay City that begins Friday.
