Tall Ship PALLADA Arrives in Seattle & Bellingham, Washington.
It was a memorable visit by the majestic Soviet Training Ship Pallada. The vessel sailed into the waters of Elliott Bay and then traveled to Bellingham, Washington in July 1990 meeting an overwhelming tide of interest from local residents, spurred in part by the beauty of the vessel. Her sails were billowed by the friendly Pacific Northwest winds of hospitality.
On the heels of the Goodwill Games the Pallada's stay in Seattle and Bellingham became a gift of Goodwill from the Soviets to the Americans. Foss Maritime sent tractor tug Arthur to bring the 356-foot ship to dock. Thousands of people saw the ship moored at The Seattle and Bellingham waterfronts. She is both the most beautiful and the best, proclaimed captain Yuri Arsentiev.
The historic event has been faithfully recreated in this original Hand colored print by artist James R. Williamson. Media include watercolor, pastel and colored pencil. The original line work was created using pen and ink.
Bob and Audrey Swanson of Bellingham, Washington, along with Bellingham maritime artist James R. Williamson greeted the arrival of the Russian Tall Ship PALLADA on Bellingham Bay. A bright and sunny afternoon set the stage for this historic event. Bob and Audrey powered up their 21 Bayliner Trophy pleasure craft PUGET ROSE and invited their favorite maritime artist along. The PUGET ROSE traveled south from Squalicum Harbor. South of Lummi Island they met the PALLADA traveling north. The ship could be seen in the distance along with the sound of Count Basie music. The vessel looked small in the distance but as we came closer the size and majesty of this incredible ship became apparent. Many pleasure craft, power and sail, greeted the ship and sailed alongside of her. Blowing horns and traveling around the ship, everyone was excited. Helicopters and aircraft flew overhead as PALLADA sailed closer to Bellingham Bay. The ship was under full sail and as it came into the Bay, we were all amazed as all of the sails were raised together with the push of a button. The Foss tractor tug ARTHUR came along side and assisted PALLADA to the dock near the Georgia Pacific pulp and paper plant. Cadets scurried up the rigging and positioned themselves along the spars. We took a lot of photographs, ate donut holes and Pepsi and a good time was had by all. That will always be a day to remember.
