On-street
parking is available near most of these locations but we strongly
recommend arriving on foot, by public transportation or by
bicycle. Most marinas with a view of the Ship Canal or Lake
Union have locked gates with entry available only to their tenants,
we ask you please respect those.
The following list of participating boats was published by historylink.org and we're adding it here for those who will be able to view the boats as they make the journey through the canal and into Lake Union. The Glorybe and the Keewaydin were both in the original parade on July 4, 1917! Let's see who will be here in 2117.
