OPPORTUNITY
Tall ship needs captains
Skilled maritime workers are hard to come by, but this vessel in need of captains is particularly unique: Lady Washington. The 18th century replica brig cuts a fine picture through local waters each summer. It needs more captains at its helm.
Launched in 1989 as part of the state’s centennial, the wooden-hulled Lady Washington has appeared in several TV shows and movies, including “Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl.” The ship recently departed Foss Waterway Seaport to sail into Friday Harbor and other state ports into the fall.
Want to come aboard? Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, the nonprofit that operates Lady Washington, seeks interested mariners holding a 100-ton captain’s license for training.
