The tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain were in Bodega Bay while we were there. They are traveling up the coast to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the founding of Fort Ross, the southernmost settlement in the Russian colonization in North America.
Launched in 1989, the brig Lady Washington is a replica of one of the first U.S. flagged vessels to visit the west coast of North America in the late 18th century. The modern Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain, her steel-hulled companion ship, visit more than 40 ports a year on the west coast educating the public about the lives of 18th century mariners.
