Peruvian Tall Ship

By Karen Robes Meeks

From now until June 22, visitors can check out the Peruvian Tall Ship B.A.P. Unión at the Los Angeles World Cruise Terminal.

No appointment is necessary to view the 378-foot, four-mast sailing school Peruvian Navy ship, which has about 250 Peruvian Navy officers and trainees on board.

Commissioned in 2016, B.A.P. Unión is the second biggest training tall ship in the world.

This is the first time it has visited the Port of Los Angeles, a visit made possible thanks to a partnership with the Peruvian Consulate.

The Unión will be open to the public from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. June 20-22.
