MV Sealth

Taken on Monday, October 14th, 2024. Last in the Issaquah class is the MV Sealth. She was built in 1982. In the 1990s, she served the Seattle-Bremerton ferry route when she worked alongside her sister; the MV Kitsap. The Sealth is still in her original 100-car configuration and has not been converted to carry 130 cars. Later, she became a relief vessel; working in the San Juans during the autumns and winters; and springs and summers at Vashon Island. In 2017, she replaced the Tillikum at Vashon Island; which was replacing the Klahowya in the San Juans when the new Chimacum went into service on the Seattle-Bremerton ferry route. In 2018, the Sealth was replaced by her sister, the Kittitas when the new Suquamish entered service on the Mukilteo-Clinton ferry route. The Sealth becomes a relief vessel again on various routes, appearing at Bremerton, Vashon Island, Point Defiance, Edmonds, Mukilteo, and the San Juan Islands. She also spent a much short period of time on the Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry route.
