The Ship Report: Fleet Week Wednesday

The Ship Report, Wednesday, June 3, 2026Fleet Week Wednesday – Rose Festival Fleet Week ships arrive in PortlandAll of the ships arriving from offshore heading to Portland are now in the River. Today we will look at the ships that will be in Portland this weekend for the Rose Festival. We’ll also talk about what happens when visiting ships arrive in Portland, and how they are greeted, with open drawbridges and a fire boat ceremonial display.Ship tours are happening Thursday through Sunday, 10-4, at Tom McCall Park on the Willamette River. Get there early because tours end promptly at 4.An update on what you’ll need to board: The Fleet Week page now specifies this: “When arriving for public tours, all visitors will be required to present a REAL ID-compliant government-issued photo identification (see approved identification list below), and pass through an airport-style security screening checkpoint prior to boarding the ships. A temporary form of ID is not an acceptable form of identification.”See the Fleet Week page on the rose festival website to see the list of documents that are considered acceptable ID. https://www.rosefestival.org/events/2026/fleetweek
