We had a blast going on a short cruise when it was in Seattle.

America fur trader Captain Robert Gray discovered the Columbia River in 1792, naming the major river of the Pacific Northwest after his ship, the Columbia Rediviva. Accompanying him was another ship, the sloop Lady Washington. Nearly 200 years later, a group of Aberdeen, Washington ship enthusiasts approached the state of Washington about constructing a replica of the Lady Washington for the state’s 1989 centennial. The replica’s keel was laid in 1985 and she was launched four years later.

Today, the Lady Washington is an ambassador for the state, visiting major west coast ports throughout the year. She’s also appeared in major Hollywood movies, most recently in 2003’s Pirates of the Caribbean. Crewed by professional sailors and volunteers, the Lady tells the story of the state’s early maritime growth and development. The Lady also conducts sail training and short public cruises.
