The Mukilteo / Clinton Ferry
Saturday, 4th June 2005 by James Turnbull
The Mukilteo / Clinton Ferry in Seattle can be seen here offloading cars after docking in Mukilteo Terminal. If you look a little to the north you can see the same boat again, about to crash into its future self š
haha nice! š if you look to the right, there is another serious bridge aligment problem!
…and this seems to be a huge carrier.
LOL! Brilliant. I should read this site more often ;-D
Thats probably the USS Lincoln. She is normally home ported there, when she’s not over in Bremerton getting work done.
Look south on the coast, there’s a pretty long train.
And what is thing on the shore a little more south? Some kind of sunk ship or what?
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.

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.
Another cool carrier can be found in San Diego, here, and a hospital ship and a bunch of destroyers and cruisers a bit to the southeast, here.
