Nice! I'd discovered that ferry a while ago, and I was going to post it somewhere.
It does look a lot like the Kulshan, but I thought the best thing was the fact that there's a ferry named Blackbeard. Arrrrr.

Ah, I thought she looked familiar, she's the old Carquinez.There's a reason they look the same--I do believe they were drawn off the same plans.  |

Now she sits for sale. Looking for a new home. Anyone need a ferryboat? Would it fit into Keystone? She would but would be way to open and small to do much good. The 50-car capacity Blackbeard was retired in 2008 and is in storage in Green Cove Springs, Fla. |

Except maybe for Lummi Isand. They may need a bigger ferry if they change dock locations that creates a longer crossing. The HIYU might be better with her sufficient cabin space for the daily commuters there. |

The great Evergreenfleet.com site has a new page for ships that were left-behind sisters (or near sisters) to ferries that ended up in Puget Sound. The Carquinez is an example that is included on that page. HERE |
