Rescue of Kalakala remembered
Friday, November 10, 2000
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER STAFF
The ferry Kalakala celebrates the second anniversary of its resurrection and return to Seattle with a reception at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Kalakala Foundation headquarters, 68 S. Washington St.
The rusty art-deco style boat is now moored on North Lake Union, needing lots of repairs. Built as a 1930s vision of the future, the Seattle icon retired in 1969. When Fremont sculptor Peter Bevis began his campaign to rescue it, the Kalakala had been sold and forgotten, gutted to become a rusting fish processor in Alaska.
