Great pictures and I like the descriptions as well. Looks like a great way to spend a Sunday.

Wow!!!! Totally COOOL! Did you feel like the ship was smaller than it looked in the movies? Or did it match up? By looking at the pictures it looks smaller. But again AWESOME. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it was much smaller than I expected, I have been on it once before, but it was before Star Trek used it, so I didn't pay too much attention. They must have used a cool lens to make it look bigger. I thought it was funny though, the crew tells stories about how TNG cast members like Diet Coke and also installed padded seats in the cargo holds and crew quarters because they were on the ship such long hours that they were really uncomfortable. When the camera crews left they left the padded seats which are still on the ship today.

Fun!

Moyer777, those are awesome pictures of the Lady Washington! :biggrin I recognise it as the Enterprise from Star Trek: Generations, but not as the Intercepter from Pirates of the Caribbean. That might be because I never payed much attention to the Intercepter since the movie mostly shows what's happing on deck and not the whole ship.

What is the Lady Washington usually used for?

It does special events and entertainment type of stuff. It is supposed to be a calling card to the City of Aberdeen as a tourist type of thing. There isn't a lot of money in that, but the movies have paid off big time in this. Rumor has it they called the seaport for Pirates 4. We'll see!

WOW! That's an awesome photo.
