Down to the Sea in Tall Ships


Paddle on down to the Rainbow Harbor Marina this weekend! The tall ships Hawaiian Chieftain and Lady Washington are on view Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Replicas of 18th century trading vessels, the ships make use of old-fashioned wind power that was once cutting edge technology. The majesty of the towering sails bring a bygone age back to life.

For a mere three bucks, you can climb aboard for an on dock tour on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. Over the weekend for considerably more money, you can take part in an adventure sail or battle sail, featuring cannons and close-quarters maneuvers between the ships. The Historical Seaport website gives all the details. Check it out before they set sail for Oceanside next week.
