Talk:Lady Washington

The photo says it was taken in 1988, but the replica Lady Washington wasn't built until 1989. Huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justi521 (talk • contribs) 18:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sources I've been able to find say she was built "in time for the 1989 centennial." It's possible she was launched in 1988. -- Brianhe (talk) 22:28, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * All the photos currently in use are from 2008 - one by User:Miso Beno from July 2008 from shore looking at her, and the gallery I took in November 2008 from aboard the ship. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 08:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Split this article?
This deals with two ships, one historical and one a modern replica. It would make sense to treat them as two separate articles. -- Brianhe (talk) 22:27, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
 * The historical ship isn't really notable enough by herself - she's primarily notable for having spawned a modern replica, which is notable for three reasons - not very many actively sailing tall ships today, so they're all notable; she's appeared in several movies / TV series; she's one of the very few tall ships which routinely does at-sea sail experiences for the general public.

 * A lot of the inlinks to this article come from Template:Oregon Early History which does't seem to care about the replica ship. If it remains one article, maybe it would be good to have clear sub-sections to indicate which ship is discussed. - Brianhe (talk) 15:42, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Better late then never. I just splitted the article in the german wp: Lady Washington (Schiff, 1989) and Lady Washington (Schiff, 1780). The replica as a National symbol is relevant by this, the original because it has been the first ship documented passing Cape Hoorn. --CeGe (talk) 12:05, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

Pasco Union Pacific Railroad Bridge Event?
The Lady had a run-in with the Union Pacific Bridge in Pasco in the 90s that broke a mast or two. There's a song and some articles that I'm unable to locate. Such information would be relevant to the current Lady Washington. 130.20.71.48 (talk) 17:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

"Brig" vs "Brig" vs "Brigantine" vs "Brigantine" vs "Snow"
There's enormous confusion all over the web (including Wikipedia) regarding the difference between a brig, a brigantine, and a snow. The root of this confusion is that, like the words "chips" and "pants", the terms "brig" and "brigantine" mean different things depending on if you're using US or UK terminology. A brig(US) could be the same thing as a brigantine(UK), and a brigantine(US) is a hermaphrodite-brig(UK). Further complicating matters is that many people lump the snow in with the brig due to similar appearance. I've added a short clarification paragraph to help people understand what the Lady Washington actually is. See the brig, brigantine, and sail plan pages for more info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.74.34.8 (talk) 18:43, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
