This is local news for those of you in the Bay Area.
Redwood City is the only deep water port in the south San Francisco Bay. As such, it occasionally hosts interesting maritime events. One such event is the arrival of the replicas of historic tall ships, Lady Wachington and Hawaiin Cheiftan. The Lady Washington is a wood hulled brig which set sail in 1989 and has been named Washington State's official tall ship. She has appeared in numerous movies including the 2003 movie Pirates of the Carribean: the Curse of the Black Pearl. The Hawaiian Cheiftan is a steel-hulled topsail ketch replica of a 19th century coastal trader. They will be in the port from March 7-19 and will offer public tours, sailing excursions and educational programs for K-12 students and groups.
One of the fun things about this visit is that they have adventure and battle sails where you can actually sail in these amazing ships and imagine what it must have been like to head out to sea in the olden days.
