Photo 1 of Hawaiian Chieftain is a similar shot to those of previously posted Bounty and Lady Washington taken on the day they were departing for another location on a blustery day. They were delaying putting on full sail until they were clear of the Port Angeles harbor and the shots were taken just before they were going to fade into a heavy haze as well as being out of range for the camera.
Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain had quite a few tours together and part of their exhibition was a mock battle. Photo 2 was on a day they were practicing their maneuvers and had just passed each other. In the distance to the left of Lady Washington is the U.S. Coast Guard Station on Ediz Hook, with the Japanese freighter Tokyo Maru passing on the outside.

Thank you all for looking. All of you except moriti will be fairly close (well, compared to us), to the Tall Ship Challenge on the Great Lakes this year. Wish we could make the stop in Duluth, but have other commitments. Bounty was the top star of the group and will be greatly missed.
