Sep. 28th, 2003 12:58 pmI'm in the Salmon House restaurant which is right on the waterline on Lake Union. This ship is moored here, or what there is of it. I should have gotten a picture while the sun was still up but it's too dark now.
It has an interesting history, first it was a ferry in San Francisco until it somehow got burned down tothe waterline, at which point it was moved to Seattle and rebuilt as a streamlined ferry. After a bridge was built and it was no longer needed for that purpose it was sold to someone in Alaska for use as a floating cannery. It now sits here completely idle and dark.
