The tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain are making two stops in Whatcom County, offering walking and sailing tours and mock battles.

The ships will arrive in Drayton Harbor about 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 23, for a five-day visit. Both ships will then set sail for Bellingham Bay, arriving Monday, July 28, for a seven-day visit.

The Lady Washington is the official boat of Washington state, and was used in the filming of the “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.” The Hawaiian Chieftain was built in Honolulu.

Along with self-guided tours of the 18th-century replicas, as many as 40 people can ride aboard the ships for a variety of three-hour sailing tours.

All the tours are popular, with most sailings selling out in advance. Visitors also should be prepared for long lines for the self-guided tours.

Battle sails will be Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, at 2 p.m., and Friday, Aug. 1, and Saturday, Aug. 2, at 6 p.m.. Family adventure sails, with demonstrations of tall ship lore and handling, are on Sunday, July 27, and Sunday, Aug. 3, at 10 a.m.

People also can participate in sunset sails, on Thursday, July 24; Friday, July 25; and Wednesday, July 30, at 6 p.m. Tickets range from $45 to $60 for battle sails, and $35 to $55 for other tours.

Walk-on tours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, July 24; 12:30 to 5 p.m. Friday, July 25; and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, July 26, at Drayton Harbor.

The ships will be at the visitor dock in Squalicum Harbor from 12:30 to 5 p.m. from Tuesday, July 29, through Friday, Aug. 1, for walk-on tours. A $3 donation per person is suggested.

Ship crews will be dressed in 18th-century costume. Each ship typically has a crew of 12, with at least eight professional sailors and trained volunteers.

The Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority owns the large sailing vessels that have masts reaching up to 87 feet high. The ships will depart on Sunday, Aug. 3, for Anacortes.
