In this episode I interview Captain Les Bolton – the executive director of the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport (GHHS). In 1989, GHHS completed the construction of the replica 112ʹ brig rigged wooden sailing vessel “Lady Washington”. In 1758, the original Lady Washington was the first American ship to sail to the west coast of America and began trade with the natives and islanders. Les talks about the history, construction, and maintenance of Lady Washington, how she was used in the 2003 movie – Pirates of the Caribbean – and other fun stuff GHHS is working on.
