The round portholes replaced the glass windows within the first year of operation, according to Evergreenfleet in a conversation I had with him some time ago. How he came up with that information I don't know, but that was his take. Another way to identify the Willapa from her 'twin,' the Enetai (a name I would like to see recycled ;D )--and Evergreenfleet pointed THIS out too--is that the camber (slope from midships to either side) of the upper deck is hellacious on the Willapa compared to the nearly-flat Enetai. This is most easily spotted in Harre Demoro's "The Evergreen Fleet" on page 94, where a pic of both sterns side-by-side exists. Anyway, this picture was taken as the Willapa had just backed out of Colman Dock in Seattle (Pier 52) and was just coming ahead to complete the turn-around to head for Bremerton. A name you'd like to see recycled, you say? Gee Enetai would look nice plastered on a passenger ferry, wouldn't it?  |

I didn't feel it to be too inappropriate, what with the last post being semi-recent. I found the statement I quoted to be amusing and figured I'd comment on it. Anyways with that said, it would be nice to have a new, current photo of the Enetai/Santa Rosa here, but alas I live far up in British Columbia. |
