Any of you ever ridden on this boat?

No, but I’ve been on this bad boy, and drunk Kulshan beer.

Judging by the title, I’d have to guess Seattle. Or maybe Pittsburgh.

Right now it serves Martha’s Vineyard but it used to serve Seattle in the 70s and 80s.

This ferry used to serve Seattle but in the years since it’s found its way down through the Panama canal and to the complete opposite end of the country.

So I read. Pretty cool career! I’m just not old enough to have ever ridden it here, so I found a shot of one of its replacements in the fleet.

Your fleet is pretty damn massive. You probably don’t get to know your boats as well as we do. The Governor has been the workhorse of our fleet for many many years, often running unscheduled to absorb all the extra volume during the summer months.

She was supposed to have been phased out at the end of last summer but she’s still serving alongside the boat meant to replace her!

Was on the M/V Tacoma to Bainbridge and back on Friday. Awesome city, first time visiting a cousin of mine that now lives there. Loved it and looking forward to going back sometime hopefully soon.

You’re certainly right about me, although people who commute island-to-island or island-to-mainland every single day probably disagree. But it’s always cool to hear about a service record like that!

no, but I know folks that did after the Hood Canal bridge failure. It wasn’t exactly a popular boat.
