File - The tall ship Kaiwo Maru of Japan sails past the Custom House Tower during Sail Boston 2000 in Boston Harbor, in this June 11, 2000 file photo. Months of squabbling between the mayor of Boston and organizers of Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009 ended Wednesday June 17, 2009 with a deal that should provide clear sailing for a scheduled five-day visit by the vessels next month. The plan includes a $1 million contribution by the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority to cover security costs and an agreement by the Massachusetts Port Authority to bear the costs of docking at Massport's piers. Sail Boston also agreed to pay $250,000 to defer Massachusetts State Police costs. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File)
