AMSTERDAM (AP) — A flotilla of historic ships sailed into Amsterdam on Wednesday, marking the start of SAIL 2025, a five-day festival celebrating the city’s maritime history.

The event, normally held every five years but canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, features ships from around the world. This year's event coincides with Amsterdam’s 750th birthday.
