 KITSAP built in Lake Washington Shipyards ..  M/V Kitsap was a
ferry built at the Lake Washington Shipyards in Houghton, Washington
(now Kirkland) and
launched in 1925.
She was 165 feet long, and
her capacity was a little more
than
30 modern automobiles,
and 325 passengers. She was owned originally by the Kitsap County
Transportation Company, which would be acquired by Puget Sound
Navigation
Company and eventually by Washington State Ferries. Eventually she was
sold to
the Oregon Department of Transportation and finally sold to a private
party to
be used as a fish cannery but sank when being towed to Alaska. History
 In the early 1950's the
Kitsap undergoes some annual maintenace at the repair yard in Winslow.
