| Tall Ship Lady Washington | ||||||||
| Description | Launched on March 7, 1989, the Lady Washington was built in Aberdeen, Wash. by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit public development authority. Lady Washington has appeared in several major television and motion picture productions, including Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), and Star Trek: Generations (1994). The Lady Washington is a full-scale reproduction of the original Lady Washington. Built in the British Colony of Massachusetts in the 1750s, the original vessel carried freight between colonial ports until the American Revolutionary War, when she became an American privateer. In 1787, after the war, she was given a major refit to prepare her for a unprecedented trading voyage around Cape Horn. In 1788, she became the first American vessel to make landfall on the west coast of North America. | |||||||
