EDITORS COMMENTS
The Motor Ferry Kalakala, captured in this stunning print from ca. 1936, stands as a testament to innovation and engineering prowess. Known as the world's first completely streamlined vessel, it served as a vital link between Seattle and Bremerton on the picturesque Puget Sound in Washington, USA. With its sleek design and impressive features, the Kalakala was truly ahead of its time. Divided into twenty-five water-tight compartments, it boasted unparalleled safety measures that made it virtually unsinkable. Stretching over 276 feet in length and with a beam of 55.8 feet, this magnificent ferry had ample space to accommodate up to 2000 passengers and carry 110 automobiles across its five decks. Powered by an impressive Maine engine generating 3000 horsepower, the Kalakala cruised through the waters at a speed of 18 knots. Its purpose was clear - to meet the growing demands of passenger and automobile traffic on Puget Sound while providing an unforgettable experience for all who embarked upon its journey. As we gaze at this image today, we are reminded not only of the technological marvel that is the Motor Ferry Kalakala but also of our enduring fascination with progress and exploration. The legacy of this iconic vessel continues to inspire generations as they navigate their own paths towards new horizons on beautiful Puget Sound.
