Ships that sailed into Boston for Navy Week and Fourth of July festivities are leaving the city and returning home.
The Indonesian tall ship Dewaruci will be the last ship to leave when it unties mooring lines from the Fish Pier at noon Friday.
In total, 20 ships from the United States and abroad traveled to Boston for Navy Week, a ceremony that coincides with the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812 and the Star-Spangled Banner.
The event featured ship visits, a Navy simulator and a Blue Angels air show.
Ships and sailors from nine countries participated in the weeklong event.
The amphibious assault ship Wasp was the largest ship in attendance with a length of almost three football fields and weight of more than 40,000 tons.
