The Daily World out of Aberdeen just posted a story on the effort to make new sails for The Lady Washington in time for Tall Ships Tacoma. Crews are busy up in Port Hadlock sewing the sails to replace the aging fabric.
The tall ship has been using the same sails for 19 years nearly continuously. The sails and rigging were in dire need of replacement, along with those of sister ship the Hawaiian Chieftain, and the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport is almost finished making the 22 sails that will outfit the ships when they sail to the Tacoma Tall Ships Festival over the Fourth of July weekend.
...the point of pride, (Grays Harbor seaport director Les) Bolton said, will be having the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain clad in gleaming new white sails, sailing from Aberdeen to Tacoma for the tall ships festival, where the Lady Washington presides as the official state ship.
