The Issaquah 100 Class (originally known as Issaquah Class) ferries were built for the Washington State Ferries in the early 1980s. Each Issaquah ferry can carry 1200 passengers and 90 cars. Since then, five of the ferries have been upgraded to become the Issaquah 130 Class leaving just the MV Sealth unmodified.
Ferries originally built in this class include:
- Cathlamet
- Chelan
- Issaquah
- Kitsap
- Kittitas
- Sealth
Famous quotes containing the words class and/or ferry:
“There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“This ferry was as busy as a beaver dam, and all the world seemed anxious to get across the Merrimack River at this particular point, waiting to get set over,—children with their two cents done up in paper, jail-birds broke lose and constable with warrant, travelers from distant lands to distant lands, men and women to whom the Merrimack River was a bar.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
