Get a taste of life on the high seas!

Set sail aboard the historic Tall Ships, the Lady Washington, and Hawaiian Chieftain on Lake Washington from Aug. 27 through Sept. 3. Both ships will depart the Carillon Point guest dock and passengers will be treated to a “mock battle” and fun facts about these unique historical ships.

Tour one of the Tall Ships for free one day only, on Thursday, Aug. 30, at the Kirkland downtown marina, made possible by the City of Kirkland. Hours and details to be announced.

If you miss the one-day event, don’t worry: Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain will be moored at the Woodmark Hotel, Carillon Point, the rest of the week.

Tickets for the three-hour mock battle sails on Sept. 1 and 2 will be available for sale at www.tallshipskirkland.eventbrite.com
