Passengers wait at the Tacoma Municipal Dock to board the streamlined "Kalakala" for the last ferry ride across the Narrows on July 2, 1940. Additional passengers boarded at Point Defiance and Gig Harbor ferry landings on the boat's voyage toward Bremerton. Because the ferry was nearly an hour late in departing, it was decided to not dock at Bremerton. The decision did not seem to bother the raucous 1,440 revelers who celebrated with music and dancing sponsored by the Young Men's Business Club. (T.Times, 7-3-40, p. 3). TPL-1369
