HAWAIIAN CHIEFTAIN AND LADY WASHINGTON

It’s a tradition. The tall ships Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady

Washington will once again dock this week near the Newport Harbor

Nautical Museum this week as they tour their way along the state’s

coastline.

The Lady Washington is a replica of an American ship that sailed

around Cape Horn in the late 1780s. The Hawaiian Chieftain replicates an

18th century square-rigged ship.

While they’re in town, through Jan. 22, the ships will be open for

tours and sails. Last year, both boats participated in battle reenactment

sails, and the crews taught area fourth- and fifth-graders about what it

was like to live on and sail on a tall ship 200 years ago.

Free tours of both boats will be available from 1 to 6 p.m. Tuesday,

the first day they dock.
