The replica vessel is the Washington State Ship, and frequently travels with its sister ship, the Hawaiian Chieftain - also owned by the Gray’s Harbor Historical Seaport. The Lady Washington was the first vessel under an American flag to visit Japan, Hong Kong and Honolulu. It became, in 1788, the first American ship to touch land on the West Coast of the U.S., according to the ship’s owner, the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport located in Aberdeen, WA. The ship is a full-scale copy of the original Lady Washington, which sailed around Cape Horn.
