A guided tour of the pilothouses, engine rooms and engine control room of the new ferry M/V Issaquah while underway highlighted the recent meeting of the Puget Sound Section of the American Society of Naval Engineers. The combined dinner and technical meeting was hosted by the Washington State Ferry System, and was held as the ferry traveled between Fauntleroy and Southworth.

Dinner was followed by an interesting presentation by Jim Solund, project manager for construction. The presentation on the many engineering aspects of the ferry was followed by a brisk question and answer period. Capt. R.C. Melberg, maintenance director, provided excellent responses to the questions.
