The Point Ruston Ferry was taken down to the dry-dock facility at Vigor Marine yesterday.
While at dry-dock she’ll undergo routine maintenance and inspections,
including a complete hull cleaning and survey (to check for any weak
areas
or stress points), as well as receive a beautiful new coat of paint.
Following the deep-clean, we are very excited to then be taking her up
to Seattle a few weeks in August, where she’ll be moored at the Historic
Ships Wharf at Lake Union Park between August
9th – 19th. While there we’ll be hosting a
series of open houses and other events that will be announced on our
website in the near future. Hopefully our local Ruston friends can make
a day trip up to Seattle to check out her temporary
digs – and if anyone hasn’t been to Lake Union Park it’s well worth the
visit. The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), Center for Wooden
Boats and the Northwest Marine Center are all located at the park, so
it’s a very cool location. Here’s a link to an
article on the park that also has some great photos of the other
historic vessels that will be keeping the Point Ruston company while
she’s in Seattle:
