Bristol is welcoming about 40 Midshipmen from the United States Naval Academy (USNA) in Annapolis, MD this weekend.

The sailors, on the last leg of their annual summer cruise, are being hosted by local families, while their 4 vessels are being hosted in transient slips at the Town Marina.

Members of the public are welcome to check out the boats Saturday and Sunday afternoons after noon; three Midshipmen will be on duty to welcome guests.
