Somewhere in Time, Unlimited
Presents:

Greet the
lady Washington!

May 28, 2011
"City Pier"
Port Angeles, Washington

"Aaaaaaaar!"  Calling all Mateys and Elegant 18th-century Men and Women!

The historical costuming group, Somewhere in Time, Unlimited, is headed to Port Angeles on May 28th to greet the 18th-century sailing ship, "The Lady Washington."
 

One such vessel was the original Lady Washington, who then navigated the waters along the U.S. Pacific coastline and to Asia.

Members and friends of SITU will greet the historically accurate re-created vessel, also named Lady Washington.

What to Wear:

What's Happening:

We will set up our little picnic area on the spacious pier.  Anticipate that there will be other travelers from the general public who will also be visiting the vessel.  If you’d like SITU's Lady Victoria to be on the lookout for you, send her an email to advise her of this fact.  LadyVictoria "at" SITUSeattle.com

Once in Port Angeles, we can arrange chairs, tables, and picnic supplies on the City Pier, immediately adjacent to where the Lady Washington will be docked. There are said to be city-owned picnic tables, but we cannot reserve them specifically for this event.  Therefore, it would be best to supply your own seating.

After lunch, feel free to stay on the pier to play cards, backgammon, or chat.  Perhaps a stroll into town to peer into the local merchants’ windows for that incredible must-have item to bring home may interest you. 

Those with ticketing for the 2-hour “mock battle” will depart the dock at 2 pm precisely aboard the ships.

Remember to wear hat pins to secure your chapeaux to your head, and wear a warm wrap to ward off the chills from the open sea!

Ticketing:

Payment participation in our event includes a tour of the vessel either before or after lunch.

Your $5 tariff to board the vessel for a tour, or, for those who wish to go out to sea for the “mock battle” aboard the Lady Washington or The Chieftain, your $50 tariff for both “battle and tour,” will need to be received by the SITU Exchequer (Treasurer!) by May 20, 2011 to the event.  This can be done by personal check , or via PayPal button below if you wish to use credit/debit cards or direct checking withdrawal.

At 2pm, those who have have reserved and paid for tickets for the mock battle with The Chieftain, will take an excursion out to sea for approximately 2 hrs.

· Pack your own picnic hamper of special treats for your family or group.  You are not obligated to bring a potluck item to share this event.  If you do wish to share something, consider bringing something that might travel well, such as a dessert or perhaps something extra to drink.

· If the weather is warm, Lady V will be bringing her ice chest in which to keep soda, ice and other small treats at their best temperature.

· Bring a chair or blanket on which to sit, and a small table from which to eat.  We’ll be setting up on the pier, right out in the open. You’ll want to be comfortable!

· Include enough plates, cups, cutlery, and napkins for your party.

· Bring a parasol or umbrella.  If the weather is sunny, you’ll have some shade.  If it’s drizzly, you will be thankful you have a bit of shelter for your garments.

· Have a sweater, jacket, or wrap along, especially if you are going out on the open water for the “sea battle,” as it can be quite breezy.

· Perhaps include a deck of cards or games that travel well.
