Ferries Ferry Washington Kirkland
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Washington Ferry, also known as the King Company Ferry, making its way across Lake Washington in the early 1910s. Located in Kirkland, Washington, this historic ferry played a significant role in the transportation of people and goods between the eastern and western shores of the lake during a time when roads and bridges were yet to be established. The Washington Ferry, a proud symbol of the region's maritime history, was a vital link between the communities on either side of the lake. The ferry's simple yet sturdy design, with its wooden hull and tall smokestack, reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era. The image shows the ferry in full sail, its white sails billowing in the wind, as it cuts through the calm waters of Lake Washington. The King Company, which operated the ferry, was a pioneering organization that played a crucial role in the development of the region. The company's fleet of ferries, including the Washington Ferry, provided essential transportation services, connecting people and communities, and facilitating the growth of the area. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life was simpler, and the waterways were the primary means of transportation. It is a poignant reminder of the rich maritime history of the Pacific Northwest and the important role that ferries, like the Washington Ferry, played in shaping the region's past and present.
