Event Announcement 

Lady Washington, the sailing ship with plenty of stories to tell, will make a visit to the Channel Islands Harbor on February 5-16, 2015. The vessel, which has appeared in numerous movies and TV shows, including Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, will open for public tours and take passengers on two-hour excursions. The ship will also welcome visitors on Monday, February 16, to celebrate the Presidents Day holiday.

Lady Washington will offer walk-on tours and Adventure Sails as part of its visit. Adventure Sails are family-oriented experiences that feature opportunities for guests to help raise a sail, learn a sea shanty, and take the helm of a real tall ship, conditions permitting. Tickets are $47 adults and $39 for children 12 and under. Purchase tickets online or call 1-800-200-5239.

Walk-on tours are self-guided opportunities to learn more about Lady Washington and her travels. A $3 donation per person is appreciated and no reservations are required.

Lady Washington is also taking reservations from schools, home-school groups, and service organizations for one-hour and three-hour educational programs that focus on the early exploration of the California coast. These programs feature three learning stations: Life of a Sailor, Life of an Officer, and Early Trade. The programs are designed for students in grade 4-6, though students of all ages are welcome.
