Do you still want a photo of the Clatawa? I found a splendid one in the Vancouver Public Library today that you might want to use for a drawing. Thank you viking but, go back one page and you will see the drawing of her.  The ferry that there isn't a good picture of is Lake Constance, if you can find that please yes.. Prior to the being named the Lake Constance she was the City of Kingston and before that the Rubaiyat...not that I've found a decent photo of either of those either. |

:)your new age electronic drawings are neat stuff in my eyes, as for any problems with the privitized ferry outfit, and the new logo, my preference would be a dogwood retrofit, which would bomb out at hahnquarters! :)mrdot.

:)yes, there is fundamental differences with my old age drawings and the new electronic work but both are enjoyable! :)mrdot.

:)a good representation of the Burnaby, rust and all! it's a different read of the sheer lines, but fun to look at, only thing that doesn't impress me are the privitized logos, which may or may not lite up the folks at hahnquarters! :)mrdot. ;D

Very good, Mr. Iversen. I must remark though, the Queen of Burnaby doesn't have her name written on her side near her stern. Only near the bow. |

So I thought I would post Boat from the Washington Navigation Company. I was given the correct colors via EGF.. Thanks! Many of these boats sailed for other fleets after they had been with WNC.. Do you know which one became a BC ferry?        19,355 |

If I'm not mistaken, Fox Island eventually became Bainbridge and Jervis Queen.

Ok so here are 2 that have been updated and corrected.. Seems to me that WSF isn't the only fleet with a few rusty boats... 19,263 These are really well done! Couple of really minor things to point out. MES stations on the Nanaimo are numbered odd numbers on the starboard side, and even numbers on the Port side. So that should actually read 1 and 3, instead of 1 and 2. On the Burnaby, the MEC station on the starboard side is up forward more. It's almost right beside the forward stairway doors just aft of the windbreak bulkhead. The liferafts also follow suit upstairs on Deck 5. The MEC station on the Port side is on the after end of the promenade deck just like you have shown for the starboard side. No big deal though. I hate to nit pick the small things after working on both of those vessels. I had to laugh when I saw the rust though, including faded colours! ;D |

If I'm not mistaken, Fox Island eventually became Bainbridge and Jervis Queen. Not true. The BAINBRIDGE was a totally different ferry than the FOX ISLAND. She was the intermediate ferry between the KITSAP and the VASHON and was built at the Lake Washington Shipyard at Houghton, the same yard that built the other two. The FOX ISLAND was a south sound product and operated there before moving up to Port Townsend. Both the BAINBRIDGE and FOX ISLAND made it north to BC. |

Yes that is correct! She first started out as the Wollochet! Then changed after a minor rebuild to the Fox island. Then as she looked for the Olympic ferry company.  The Fox Island then became the George S. Pearson.  19,421 |

In the summer of 1941, Whatcom County leased the Fox Island from the Skansie's and ran it from ther dock on Gooseberry Point, on the Lummi indian Reservation to Terril Beach on North Orcas. The run was successful, although the to small 150 HP Atlas Diesel was barely up to the task of handling the tides. In comparison the Vashon had a 900 Hp Washington. Then WWII came along and the Ferry went to service the Bremerton Shipyard from Port Orchard, never to return.

Quick aside, guys- Does anyone know where I can find hull lines for my beloved steel electrics? I'm kicking around the idea of a scale model of Illahee, but rebuilding and sponsoning (and wierd use of camera fish-eye lenses) have confused my little brain.

By happenstance, while doing a Yahoo! Images search on "Washington State Ferries" I discovered this gem. Found it first on a Lego forum with just a single photo, but a click on the link provided offered what I think is one hell of a stunning rendition of the Issy-130 class ferries in Lego format. He even did a full interior/under car deck detail on it! I am simply and purely amazed at how well this was executed. It definitely says "Issaquah" all over it. www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=25801 (forgot to add the link) I wonder how a Super-class rendition would turn out! Gawd what work! |

Yes go ahead and try. Some of views are not in focus and not to many pictures of each. Yes I will be at Celebrate America at Freeland Park. Nice to have it on the third of July. I have not been to Maxwelton Parade ...but one year I did help park cars at the Little Brown Church that we use to go to. Strange the Sound Board at Brown Church was a Mackie which was relative of the founding father's of Maxwelton. Everyone have a happy and safe Fourth of July. P.s They still make the small mixer board that we had at the church. www.mackie.com/Products/onyxiseries/photos/Onyx%20820i%20Top.jpg |

Not a drawing, but I didn't really know where else to put this. Not up to the standards of our own celebrated Mr Thorne, but maybe we can just call it 'impressionist'. This shed has such a lean that a heavy snowfall might take it down, so best to record it while it's still there. Just outside of Eastsound on Orcas.  |

This shed has such a lean that a heavy snowfall might take it down, so best to record it while it's still there. Just outside of Eastsound on Orcas. Nice shot, Neil! I can shed a little light onto what this is all about. Every year, the senior class at Orcas High School paints a mural on this shed. It's one of the rites of passage at the school, although, this is the first year I recall seeing a ferry image added to the scene. This year's class actually got creative. They've been doing this since long before I was at school there, and the tradition seems to be continuing. Over the years, I understand they've had to go and really beef up the structure of that shed to keep it standing so the high schooler's wouldn't fall through the roof when painting it. I hope you had a nice visit to my island. We'll be going up again in a couple of weeks for more work on the house. This year has been all about fixing the Orcas house. |
