Lady Washington to visit dock

A reproduction of a historic ship is sailing into Anacortes just in time for the Waterfront Festival.

The Lady Washington, from the Grays Harbor Historic Seaport, was built in 1989 but is a full-scale version of the original Lady Washington.

The pre-Revolutionary War original took a trading voyage around Cape Horn and in 1788 was the first American vessel to dock on the West Coast of North America, according to the historical sea- port's website.

The boat traveled all over the world in its time.

At the Waterfront Festival, people will have the chance to board the ship and take a look around. There are also opportunities to purchase tickets to go on sails.

The ship will be in town from June 1-4. Dockside tours are at 1-3 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
