Lady Washington Lands at the Foss Harbor Fuel Dock

The Foss Harbor Fuel Dock had the great privilege of serving the Lady Washington in its first week of operations. As many of you know, the Lady Washington was in the film Pirates of the Caribbean and also its sequels. The Lady Washington was shortly R-10 followed by the Hawaiian Chieftain.

These two tall ships are currently headed for Olympia and the Labor Day Tug Boat Races.
