A long-term project I've been meaning to get around to for some time now, and finally got going on, the Washington State Ferry system. The ferry system, operated by the Washington Department of Transportation, currently has 23 ferries in 9 different classes. I'm going to try an do one from each class, plus the Pierce County ferries Christine Anderson and Steilacoom II. If I can find any decent info/pics, I'd also like to do the Lummi Island ferry Whatcom Chief operated by Whatcom County.
Thye first, still a WIP, is the Jumbo Mark II class, represented by MV Puyallup (for those of you not from Washington, it is pronounced Pew-AL-lup. Residents sometimes humorously refer to it as Pooeyloop) Unfortunately, I have been unable to find any sources for the underwater hull, so if any of y'all may have some images, or know of where I can find them ...
Anyhow, first up, MV Puyallup. Again, not quite done yet, but I wanted to go ahead and post (mostly hoping somebody has info on the underwater hull.
) All the ferries are double enders, so I'm not quite certain which is the bow end and which is the stern end, as they tend to be nearly identical. On this one, just need to finish up the masts, add some antennas, and get the central funnel area done.Washington State Ferries
