The MV
Kalakala, named for the
Chinook word meaning "Flying Bird",
holds a nostalgic and magical place in
the hearts of countless ferry-goers in
the Pacific Northwest. Kalakala
was notable for her unique streamlined
superstructure, art deco styling, and
luxurious amenities. The vessel was a
popular attraction for locals and
tourists, and was voted second only to
the Space Needle in popularity among
visitors to Seattle during the 1962
Seattle World's Fair. The Kalakala is
known as the world's first streamlined
ferry with unique art deco styling. She
served over 100 million passengers in 32
years of ferry service, and was the
second most photographed man-made
structure in the world (second only to
the Eiffel Tower).
