Hawaiian Chieftain is critically under crewed at the moment and is willing to take on crew with no tall ship experience. (If “running away to join Chieftain’s crew” is a little spur-of-the-moment for you, both of Grays Harbor’s ships are accepting applications for 2018 jobs.)
Hey, my second cousin used to crew on this ship. I never visited the Hawaiian Chieftain, but some other schools in my district in Sacramento would use a field trip there to teach about tall ships and the Age of Sail. (Instead, my 4th-grade class spent a day and a night crewing the C.A. Thayer, docked at Hyde Street Pier in San Francisco.)
