Scope and content
Vividly colored portrait of the Kalakala, a reknowned Art-Deco style ferry that ran daily excursions between Seattle-Bremerton from 1935 to 1967. The red-and-black Blackball Line (Puget Sound Naval Company) flag is prominently displayed at the top front of the ship, where a few people stand on the deck. This sturdily constructed ship did indeed prove itself unsinkable during its years of service, surviving a number of collisions and usually causing far more damage than incurring any itself. After being used for over 30 years as a seafood processing plant in Alaska, the ship also survived the trip back home to the Puget Sound in 1998, where it awaits possible renovation.
