Tall ships returning to Westport

Tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain will visit the Westport Marina, arriving on Saturday and staying for about a week.

The tall ships, operated by the Aberdeen-based nonprofit Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, sail the waters of the Pacific each year offering educational programs, deck tours and sailing trips.

On weekdays, schools can reserve the tall ships for the Historical Seaport’s one-of-a-kind maritime heritage field trips, called Voyage of Explorers.

On weekends, the tall ships are open to the general public for ticketed Adventure Sails and Battle Sails, which cost $42 to $49 per person.

For the seasickness-prone but curious, stationary dockside vessel tours are available daily for a $5 suggested donation.
