| Tall Ship Hawaiian Chieftain | |||||
| Description | The topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain is a replica of a typical European merchant trader of the turn of the nineteenth century. Her hull shape and rigging are similar to those of Spanish explorer's ships used in the expeditions of the late 18th century along the Washington, Oregon, and California coasts. Built of steel in Hawaii in 1988 and originally designed for cargo trade among the Hawaiian Islands, her design was influenced by the early colonial passenger and coastal packets that carried on coastal trade along the Atlantic coastal cities and towns. Hawaiian Chieftain is owned and operated by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, based in Aberdeen, Wash. GHHSA's other vessel, Lady Washington, has appeared in numerous productions, including the motion picture Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. | ||||
