Description
JUST REDUCED $345,000 TO NOW ONLY $499,000!!!! (10/04/24) MAJOR REDUCTION!!
A RARE LISTING WITH GREAT POSSIBILITIES! A Converted 1936 Ferry known as the Pt. Ruston Ferry. Originally built to navy specifications in Bath, Maine and served as a navy vessel for approximately 4 decades. She traveled down the east coast thru the Panama Canal to the West Coast and across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii on her own bottom!! She is a Pearl Harbor survivor! She served approximately 30 years as the "MV Steilacoom" for Pierce County Steilacoom to Anderson Island Ferry run. It was given a very well done extensive renovation in 2008. It is beautiful inside and out, and very well maintained. There are unlimited possibilities with this vessel, private home, event hosting, commercial offices, sales offices, fishing/hunting lodge, etc. Come and see her and dream big! Powered by a single Caterpillar Diesel. It is reported it only burned 45-50 gallons on a trip from Tacoma, Wa. thru the Ballard Locks to Lake Union in Seattle. There are 2 generators for onboard power.
