A Sailing Tradition Returns

A boating tradition of years past was revived yesterday as replicas of 19th-century tuckup boats sailed the Delaware. After the Civil War - and before baseball and cycling took hold - boats crowded the Delaware on weekends. Three replicas of the old-time craft were made by the Workshop on the Water at Penn's Landing through the Philadelphia Maritime Museum. Yesterday's sailing marked the closing of "1986: Racing on the River."
