| Tall Ship Lady Washington | WA | USA | |
| 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. | |||
| Tall Ship Hawaiian Chieftain | WA | USA | |
| 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. | |||
| PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II | MD | USA | |
| The topsail schooner PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II is a reproduction an 1812-era Baltimore Clipper, patterned after and named for the legendary Baltimore built topsail schooner CHAUSSER, which was sailed by the famous privateer Thomas Boyle. The Chasseur was known as the "Pride of Baltimore". PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II was built with the same slim, sleek hull shape and sharp rakish silhouette as her predecessors; echoing the spirit of initiative and enterprise embodied by the citizens of young America. Constructed using traditional 19th century boat-building techniques, PRIDE II is framed in tropical hardwood, with plankings made of Maryland white oak, and masts, spars and deck made from Douglas Fir. The ship was launched in 1988. PRIDE OF BALTIMORE II is operated by Pride of Baltimore, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. PRIDE of BALTIMORE II has appeared in television and motion picture productions, including "Amistad" (1997). | |||
