The Issaquah 130 Class ferries were originally built as the Issaquah 100 Class and later upgraded to a 130 car capacity. All of these vessels have also had the interior refurbished. The Chelan was upgraded to SOLAS standards in 2005, allowing her to be one of two Washington State Ferries certified to make the crossing between the United States and British Columbia.
Ferries in this class include:
- Cathlamet
- Chelan
- Issaquah
- Kitsap
- Kittitas
Famous quotes containing the words class and/or ferry:
“I do not deny that there may be other well-founded causes for the hatred which various classes feel toward politicians, but the main one seems to me that politicians are symbols of the fact that every class must take every other class into account.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“And my eyes are blue;
So ferry me across the water,
Do, boatman, do!”
“Step into my ferry-boat,
Be they black or blue,”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
