Tall Ship comes to Everett
 The tall ship Hawaiian Chieftain will make a two-day stop in Everett on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 14 and 15. The topsail ketch will berth near Anthony’s Homeport restaurant, 1726 W. Marine View Drive.
The ship will open for walk-on tours 1pm to 5pm August 15. Crew in period costume will welcome visitors and explain Hawaiian Chieftain’s mission as a sail-training and education vessel specializing in K-12 learning experiences. A ticket is not required for the tours, although a $3 donation per person will be greatly appreciated.
From 6pm to 8pm August 15, the ship will take guests on an Evening Sail, which features a chance to raise a sail, learn a sea shanty, and take the wheel of a real tall ship (weather conditions permitting). Tickets for the Evening Sail are $29 each and may be purchased online at www.historicalseaport.org or by calling 1-800-200-5239. Early reservations are strongly recommended.
The Hawaiian Chieftain is usually accompanied by the tall ship Lady Washington. However, Lady Washington is scheduled on a private charter in Port Angeles during Hawaiian Chieftain’s Everett visit.
