Whoa, that is big. Just looks like a cruise ship. Wouldent even know it has a car deck.
The Coho dosent load and unload from the stern. You load through the stern doors in Port Angeles as she backs in then exit the ship on the starboard side through the side doors. The Coho has a door on the Port side too but never use them. I think she used to dock on the other side of the harbour in the early days which explains why she has bow doors on the left and right sides.

No that is not the biggest in the world. The biggest in the world is Ulysses of Irish Ferries that can carry 1,342 cars

Correct but color line has ordered some bigger ones. Color line is more of a cruise than car transport.

Ulysses is not the largest ferry in the world. She carries more cars than any other, true, but she only carries about 1800 passengers. So most of the cars onboard can't have more than one person in them.  Pride of Hull (P&O) was the present largest ferry in the world. |

Silja Eurpoa has to be one of the most nice looking ships if you ask me.  |

One more thing there should be a law stating that a ferry should have a big enough passenger capacity that a average car can carry.
For the Ulysses times the amount of the car capacity by 5 you should have 6710 so they need over 7000 for the ship and it should have a big enough capacity.

You notice in those photos that the Coho dosent have the Coffee shop area at the back. I guess it dident have the food service on her that early.

I have seen a model of the Spirit in a glass case on the news once they were interviewing someone from BC Ferries in an office and there was a model of the Spirit.

I wonder if that Cruise ship floats and is controllable by Remote Control. (R.C) I am thinking of making BCF Models, the minors would be easier to do I think. |
