Wow. More pics here.

And this is what it is carrying.

I wonder what it cost to bring the Cole home?

Ah, found it. $4.5 million for the ride home and $250 million to repair.

This Ferry started in San Francisco, had an accident killing five, then a fire at the dock. Next it was rebuilt for Seattle and served up into I think the 70s. First one arc welded together, copper wheel house to not screw up the compass, and other neat stuff.

I saw this Ferryboat in Kodiak when I was there in the '70s.

Nope. Ain't getting on a ferry.

Ferry not Fairy. What are you some kind of ridge runner or something?

Diaphone Jim · 02-13-2019, 11:57 AM

The people poking up out of the port hole things, like little planters, make me LOL.

I'll get on a fairy, before I get on a ferry.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I've kayaked right up to the hull of the Kalakala, touched it just to say I had. Who knew today was that day.

Soon after that she was towed away from Lake Union near Ivar's on the lake. It had a little plastic tip jar for donations hanging on a line from the bow.

I won't miss drowning in a ferry tipover.

capsize

Griff · 02-14-2019, 09:32 PM

Like a duck boat.

Diaphone Jim · 02-15-2019, 12:13 PM

I keep looking for evidence that the Table Rock Lake duckboat actually capsized rather than sinking upright.
Maybe a photograph of its upside down hull will surface, so to speak.
The word seems to be used
much less frequently during the investigation than it was during the initial press reporting.
Thanks, Griff, for bringing it up, so to speak.
