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:
“That’s how the Germans are.... The aristocrats at the top hard as glass, cold as ice, servants of the King, the working masses willing, pliable, sentimental, susceptible to brutality, the middle class educated and cowardly to the point of servility.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
“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)
