H.J.Res. 137 is a ceremonial resolution that commends Sail250, an initiative organizing international tall ship gatherings to celebrate America's 250th anniversary of independence in 2026. The resolution recognizes Sail250's efforts to promote goodwill among nations, commemorate American maritime history, and educate the public about the country's naval heritage. The initiative will host signature events in five major U.S. port cities—New Orleans, Norfolk, Baltimore, New York/New Jersey, and Boston—culminating in what is described as the largest international tall ship parade in American history and a Naval Review on July 4, 2026, in partnership with the U.S. Navy. The resolution encourages Americans and people worldwide to participate in these celebrations and urges Sail250 to continue its maritime heritage promotion efforts. This is a non-binding commendation with no direct funding or enforcement mechanisms.
