The tall ships were in Port Ludlow (neighboring community of Port Townsend) this weekend and available for sailings, open for tours and inspection. They are the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftan and come from Grays Harbor, WA. They are visiting ports in Washington State to preserve the maritime history of Grays Harbor and the Pacific Northwest.
These replicas of the turn of the 18th century European merchant ships are available for charter for school outings, company meetings, and weddings.
Hi Sandra -- I am fascinated by ships, and I have been on one old ship one time for a tour. I spent four years on ships in the Navy. I much prefer being able to get off at will then going out to sea for 3 months at a click! LOL It always makes me think of Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies -- how pop culture has invaded my thoughts!
Hi Sandra. I love the tall shiops and hope to see them again sometime - perhaps in San Francisco.
The Hawaiian Chieftan has been here many times throughout the years.
