NEWPORT, Ore. – For some Oregonians, it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity: get up-close and personal with a pair of tall ships, fully-rigged and ready to sail the open sea.
After an initial delay in arrival, Lady Washington and her companion vessel Hawaiian Chieftain have officially docked in Newport.
Lady Washington, a full-size replica of a historical ship, is has been featured in Hollywood movies including Pirates of the “Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl” and “Star Trek: Generations.”
The visiting ships will provide the public with a rare opportunity to get hands-on with history. “You can look, but you can’t touch” doesn’t apply here, KGW reports.
To add to the excitement, the ships will go on several re-enactment excursions featuring real canons.
If you’d like to check out the tall ships, you’ll need to plan a trip to Grays Harbor Historical Seaport.
