“If you look a little to the north you can see the same boat again, about to crash into its future self ”

Two identical ferries serve this route simultaneously, so the duplicate could be the other ferry–although perhaps not in the same timeframe–it IS pretty close. But I do remember one time I crossed on that ferry I was concerned we were going to ram our counterpart. It exited the dock only a couple minutes of before we pulled in.

If you go North and West you will see the other dock, including the wake of a ferry that has just left.

It’s more of a beached ship. I went fishing in those waters a few years back and remember just seeing the ship there. Didn’t get to close to it, didn’t want to run into something, but yeah, a beached ship.

Look south on the coast, there’s a pretty long train.

Thats probably the USS Lincoln. She is normally home ported there, when she’s not over in Bremerton getting work done.
