Lady Washington in Columbia River with Chinook Nation

Many thanks to Mason Marsh, who sent us this photo of Lady Washington and Chinook Nation canoe paddlers during the fur-trade re-enactment yesterday off Fort Columbia State Park, which is just a few miles up the Columbia River from Astoria. Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain arrived at the event Sunday morning after sailing from Westport. More background about the event is available at the Longview Daily News website.

The boats re-crossed the Columbia River bar in the afternoon and are now headed for San Francisco Bay. Hawaiian Chieftain is expected to arrive at Oakland's Jack London Square sometime Friday; Lady Washington is scheduled to arrive at Pier 40 in San Francisco early next week.
