I too have fond memories of "The Ferry." June of 1968 (I was 11 yo) we boarded in Prince Rupert with our Suburban and headed North. I remember the Matanuska, the Malaspina and the Wickersham. Made a few extended stops along the way.... Ketchikan, Petersburg, Juneau. Got off in Haines and continued north to the rest of AK. Also took the blue canoe from Valdez to Whittier and the Captain even let me steer for awhile. Probably can't do that nowadays anymore! Somewhere around here I have all of the reels of Super 8 movies my mom took along the way. I'm gonna have to dig them out and see what I could do with them.


The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.
