Zachary Stocks is the Program Development Officer for Grays Harbor Historical Seaport, home to the Lady Washington and the Hawaiian Chieftain.  And my co-host this week, Cheryl Jones, spent a week volunteering on the Lady Washington 15 years ago.  So we get some good "then and now" storytelling about the ship.

In this episode:

  • The story of the original Lady Washington as the first merchant ship on America's west coast, traveling between the US and Asia.
  • Where you've see the Lady Washington on TV and in movies.
  • How you can get involved as a short or long term volunteer and the training they provide.
  • What the heck are "funnies"?
