What about her sister the Spuzzum? I'm thinking there was probably a sternwheeler at some point named Spuzzum. Is there a page for the Puget on your site Evergreenfleet? |

whidbeyislandguy, I love all of your ferry drawings. Do you have a website, or a photo-hosting page like Photobucket, where we can see your work? It would be ideal if you included that link in your signature. Also, have you done any of the Jumbo Mark II's?

How about a 'what if' of a Spirit vessel in dogwood - pastel blue? Something like this then?  |

There's a handful of long forgotten ferries I need to get on the website at some point... Puget, Vashonia, and the City of Tacoma, for example, but the information on them is so thin I've held off on it.  |

I must say the Spirits look pretty tasteful in the old cyan!

How about a 'what if' of a Spirit vessel in dogwood - pastel blue? Something like this then? Yes, she looks beautiful. Classic BC Ferries. I vote for the pastel dogwood livery to replace to Olympic bill boards on the Coast Boats, and the rest of the fleet. This should happen in time for the 50th anniversary in 2010. |

Here's another 'what if?' scenario... The Spirit of Coquitlam.  |

Very nice:) You forgot all the rust spots, but she's only a youngster in the 1980s there so that's OK:)

Here's the Bowen, Mayne & Powell River Queens before they were stretched

That looks great; the only error I see is the mast is flying the old dogwood flag.

Gotcha. FWIW, BC Ferries actually has official artwork of its vessels, available here. |

Forget the Queen of Richmond, what about the double-ender Queen of Langley?

Anyway I just like the fun of drawing them and the challenge of it.  The Queen of Tsawwassen one is also really warped. She has a slope in her decks to that leads up from bow and stern to a gentle summit amidships.  I like the Tsawwassen in the green. This is sort of a hybrid between the Coho and the Tsawwassen, actually, with the covered solarium at the stern where she actually only has the upper lounge (which actually looks a little too far forward in this drawing) and then the open sundeck at the stern. |

I added the outdoor shelter deck aka solarium for a reason. WSF aside from the Roddy and Hiyu all have them and I felt that would be added. I also changed the upper passenger Deck around as I felt it would also have been changed. Yeah, I was intruiged by the changes, so I went to try and find older pictures of the Coho and it turns out she didn't always have the solarium either. When she was built she also had the shortened superstructure that the Sidney and Tsawwassen had before the drop in dining room was put in place. Looks like the Coho got the same treatment. I just wonder why the Coho didn't have the same type of sun lounge on the top deck like they did, as well. |

I thought with all the talk about the Yakima with her rust as paint job I might just do a picture of her like that. ;D  Cute  I wonder if, and/or when, Yakima is scheduled to get re-painted? |

I wonder if, and/or when, Yakima is scheduled to get re-painted? The lay-up schedule doesn't show the Yakima going in for commercial yard work, so I'm assuming it won't be anytime soon. I'm assuming she won't get anything other than hull repairs when she goes in for her "scheduled" drydocking (according to the Kitsap Sun article) next month. |

Great Work, Once Again. I'd like to Request a "What If". The Coastal Renaissance in Either the Pastel Blue or Expo Livery.

My ONLY beef with the rusty Yakima photo is the rust on the crews/officers' quarters and the smokestacks. (They're aluminium and don't rust like that. ;D)

It's a reasonable facsimile.
I like her in that scheme, for better than olympic bill boards.
