On March 29th, over 100 people took part in the first annual sail on the 'Hawaiian Chieftain' and the 'Lady Washington'.  Participants wore mid nineteenth century work or traveling clothes representing the Gold Rush era, the Russian Era, and the Mexican Era. There were framers', businessmen, trappers from the Hudson's Bay Company, and more. The sail was chartered and by invitation only. Many of the participants were able to help set sails, and learn the ropes of sailing. Most people brought period food with a large potluck at the end of the sail. The topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain is a replica of a typical European merchant trader of the turn of the nineteenth century, Her full shape and rigging are similar to those of Spanish explorer's ships used in the expeditions of the late 18th century along the Washington Oregon and California coasts. Built of steel in Hawaii in 1988 and originally designed for cargo trade among the Hawaiian Islands, her design was influenced by the early colonial passenger and coastal packets that carried on coastal trade along the Atlantic coastal cities and town. The brig 'Lady Washington', star of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl also took part in the charter for living history enthusiasts. This brig is a two masted tall ship, which is also the Official Ship of the State of Washington.
