Great find!  Great to see this being used. Imagine owning a ferry to live in. Now, we wonder how much the owner charges in ticket prices for his visitor and guest "passengers"? ;D |

Was this the ferryboat that "starred" in the film TUGBOAT ANNIE? I remember that tug Arthur Foss was used in the film, but I think that a Puget Sound ferry was used too.

I have seen this movie myself on Q13 about a decade or two ago. I think the ferry was the WASHINGTON. If I remember right, the NARCISSUS (Annie's tug) plowed into the WASHINGTON! Have to see this movie again whenever it is shown again to confirm all of this. |

It's a pity the first Issaquah wasn't taken care of as well as the City of Seattle. At least her pilot houses have been saved though: www.issaquahhistory.org/sites/ferry.htm |
