Apologies; I had just wanted to make it clear. Technically there are plenty of other differences between individual class members, but only because WSF runs out of money before reupholstering them all in the same style!
Heuhen: I apologise, just speaking from our own local experience where the only ferry recently sunk was a European built boat. I didn't mean to disparage the European boats generally, though I question the wisdom of the bow door in any circumstance at all. Zephyr: Elwha is slightly different because...
European ferries don't have the best reputation in the Pacific Northwest. Our only ferry lost in Washington State or British Columbia since 1945 was built in Europe (at AG Weser) for BC Ferries in an attempt to save money, and that despite the fact that we kept some ferries in service for as long as...
As a few other other random notes: -- Klahowya and Tillikum are a sub-class of the Evergreen State with substantial visual modifications. -- This list does not include one of the WSF vessels, the Martha S. which operates on Lake Franklin Roosevelt on the Columbia River in Eastern Washington unconnec...
I was living in Vancouver at the time. I moved to Rhode Island to go to graduate school after getting my BSME at WSUV. I can succeed in putting together the underwater hulls for all of them, but it will take time as I will have to mostly go off of drydocking photos and a few other sources.
heuhen: They are symmetrically placed, but you cannot see through the ship, only to the outer superstructure support framework/bulkheads. Essentially there's two large built-up towers in the car deck which divides it in three on all Washington State ferries (this arrangement is without exception eve...
http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6677/wipcatakao4.png Latest update, as the busy superstructure starts to come together, most interestingly the gap between the uptakes as they're only actually trunked together above deck, which a lot of line drawings and even photos obscure (this gap is filled with...
Thanks, I'm working on the most challenging portion left--getting the details of the central superstructure down--after of which it's mostly little detail work. This of course requires referencing about six pictures at once, since none actually show the area in enough detail by themselves, and it's ...
