Tall Ships

The tall ships Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain are visiting Bellingham, offering shipboard tours and cruises. Two kinds of cruises are offered -- family-friendly Adventure Sails or the more exciting Battle Sails with firing cannon.

Both vessels are owned and operated by The Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, based in Aberdeen, Washington. Lady Washington, the official ship of the state of Washington, is a full-sized wooden replica of a ship built in Massachusetts in the 1750s. The Hawaiian Chieftain is a steel-hulled replica of a typical South Seas trading vessel of the 1800s.

Lady Washington is barely visible in the blip. I'll try to get a blip of her away from the dock.
