Tall Ships Visited the Port
|
The historic tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain visited the Port of Redwood recently for two weeks to offer education programs to elementary school children during the  days as well as public dockside vessel tours, adventure and battle sails. Visitors enjoyed a living history experience, sea shanties, maritime storytelling and the boom of cannons.
