The Lions Club Carnival and local festivities kick off early next week in Lexington, but the tall ships are coming to Boston even before that. 

Beginning this Saturday through July 6 to celebrate the USS Constitution and the bicentennial of the War of 1812, Boston Harbor will be filled with square-rigged vessels, canvas and oak.

Here’s a list of which ships are coming to Boston and where you can see them, thanks to OpSailBoston.com, which organizes the sailing event.

The ships

USS Constitution
American. Known as Old Ironsides, she’s the oldest commissioned warship afloat and Boston’s favorite frigate.
