The 20th century

Launched on March 7, 1989, the Lady Washington was built in Aberdeen, Wash. By Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, not-for-profit public development authority.

In 1787, after the war, she was given a major refit to prepare her for a unprecedented trading voyage around Cape Horn.

Lady Washington opened the black pearl & sandalwood trade between Hawaii & Asia when King Kamehameha became a partner in the ship. She was launched as part of the 1989 Washington State Centennial celebration.

The new Lady Washington is a U.S.Coast Guard inspected and certified passenger sailing vessel.
