Lady Washington Sailing VESSEL of 1788 Visits Newport, Oregon

by Richard Arterbury

Lady Washington is a ship name of at least four different sailing vessels of two different time periods. The original sailed for about 10 years in the 18th century and was one of the first sailing vessels of 1788. The one sailing today is a replica of the historic Lady Washington. 

Lady Washington, the official tall ship of Washington, has been featured in movies including "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and "Star Trek: Generations," as well as television shows including ABC's "Once Upon A Time."
Because Lady Washington is a full-scale replica of a historical vessel, she gets more screen time than her companionship.
