Tall Ship Lynx returns to Oceanside Harbor

OCEANSIDE — The tall ship Lynx has returned to Oceanside Harbor.

Public dockside tours aboard the Lynx will be offered on Saturday and Sunday, February 16 and 17. In addition, the Lynx will host the Spirit of Dana Point, a 118-foot, traditionally built, accurate replica of a 1770s privateer used during the American Revolution.

Both ships will be engaging in a high seas battle sail reenactment that weekend. The public is welcome so climb aboard and experience the roar of their deck guns, smell the black powder smoke mixing with the fresh sea breeze, cheer the crew on as they chase down the enemy and step back in time to relive history.

Dockside tours run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tickets: adults, $5 donation; children 12 and under, free.

Battle sail re-enactments run from 2 to 5 p.m. Tickets: adults, $65; active military, $55; children 12 and under, $30.
