On June 26th I took a passage with my good friend Tom Ormbrek and four other passengers from Ilwaco, WA at the mouth of the Columbia River, to Westport, WA on The Lady Washington, a replica of a ship built in Massachusetts in the 1750's. The original Lady was the first American ship to sail to Hong Kong, and in 1787 the first to land in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. This Lady Washington was filmed in the production of the Pirates of the Caribbean and the Startrek series.
