HAMPTON, Va. — Fort Monroe is a popular spot for ship viewing but not usually sailing ships from countries around the world.
Friday, though, that’s exactly what people packed the seawall to see. The ships sailed by on their way to Norfolk as part of Sail250, an event celebrating the country’s 250th anniversary. At the same time, Fort Monroe also celebrated Juneteenth.
