In a perfect combination of history, craftsmanship and nautical beauty, tall ships move gracefully around the San Juan Islands every summer. The Adventuress (1913), The Zodiac (1924), The Lady Washington (built in 1989 as a replica of a ship from 1788) and The Odyssey (1938), the four tall ships I've photographed, are frequent visitors to the Straits of Juan de Fuca. They offer educational tours, cruises, and classes on traditional seamanship - as well as providing colorful glimpses into our maritime past.
