The Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain, both home-ported in Grays Harbor and owned by the Aberdeen-based Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, provide educational, vocational, recreational, and ambassadorial activities and experiences that promote and preserve the maritime history of Grays Harbor, the Pacific Northwest, and our nation while serving the needs of the community.

The Lady Washington is the Official Ship of the State of Washington. The Hawaiian Chieftain accompanies her on her voyages and goodwill missions. Both ships welcome the public during visits to ports in Washington, Oregon, California, British Columbia, and at Lake Union Park!

What We Do

  • Dockside Tours - Explore the ship and hear tales of life at sea for an 18th-century sailor.
  • Adventure Sail - Take a three-hour sea cruise in which you're invited (but not required) to participate in the operation of an 18th-century tall ship. You'll raise sails, take the helm, and hear stories of how ships explored the west coast of North America.
  • Battle Sail - Come aboard for a thrilling three-hour adventure cruise in which the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain engage in a mock sea “battle” with small cannon and intricate maneuvering.
  • Expedition Voyages - You’ll learn to set sail, stand watch, and take the helm of a replica 18th-century tall ship.
  • K-12 Voyages of Discovery - The Voyages of Discovery program for elementary, middle and high school students culminates in a visit to Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain. Students work with teachers on a curriculum that includes raising sails, taking the helm, singing sea shanties, and learning ancient maritime traditions.
