Guemes Island ferry
The Guemes Island ferry is a ferry route in Washington State that runs between Anacortes, Washington and Guemes Island across the Guemes Channel.
==History==
In 1919 the route was served by the then new (built 1917) motor ferry ''Guemes'', long, 86 tons. ''Guemes'' was one of only nine true ferries then in operation on Puget Sound.〔Kline and Bayless, ''Ferryboats-A Legend on Puget Sound'', at 94.〕 ''Guemes'' was kept on the route until 1960, when it was replaced by the ''Almar'', a vessel which had been built in 1947 on Puget Island in the Columbia River.〔(Guemes Island Historical Society ) (accessed 05-23-11)〕 ''Almar'' served as a ferry on the Columbia River until 1960. ''Almar'', with a capacity for 9 vehicles, was not a true double-ender. This meant that ferry had to be backed into Anacortes slip. Large trucks could not be carried. ''Almar'' is reported to be still afloat in Alaska.〔 The Guemes Island Ferry operates 7 days a week, 365 days a year between Anacortes and Guemes Island. Skagit County has operated the ferry since the early 1960s when it was purchased from a private operator. The vehicle and passenger ferry M/V Guemes is a US Coast Guard inspected vessel and is rated for 3 crew, 99 passengers, and 22 vehicles. We transport approximately 200,000 vehicles and 400,000 passengers a year. The ferry crossing is ¾ of mile in distance and a round trip takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. The M/V Guemes was built in 1979 by Gladding Hearn shipyard in Somerset, Massachusetts. She was delivered and put into service in 1980.
