QUEEN of THE LAKE Ferry "DAWN" Sunk in Lake Washington The
Seattle City Council requested that "DAWN" be sunk.
Charlie Gilbert of the Vasten was given the contract, and she was towed
out and
sunk. She now lies in over 110 feet of water east of Atlantic City Park.

 The
fare for a ride on the impressive little steamer was 25 cents a round
trip, but
steady commuters could purchase a ten trip ticket for 1 dollar.
Students got 20
trips for 1 dollar!  Diving for this vessel is one of the lakes most popular due to the ability of recreational divers to reach it. The cabin structure of this vessel is intact largely intact and runs nearly the full length of the vessel. from: DCS-Films
