A capsule description of Ferries of Puget Sound (by Steven J. Pickens — 2005)
In 128 pages with some 200 images, Steve Pickens portrays the evolving fleet of the Washington State Ferries system during the WSF's first 50-plus years of operations. He traces the origins of the system's first vessels and follows many retired boats to their final destinations.
The book presents a comprehensive record of the ferries, as well as highly informative details in photo captions and in well-written, concise passages that introduce the book's three main sections. |
