Alaska State Marine Highway ferry, Southeast Alaska – Image 2454

Oct 1, 2013

The ferry, Malaspina, cruises the waters of Southeast Alaska between Haines and Skagway. Built in 1963 for a cost of $5 million, the Malaspina is 408 feet in length and carries over 750 passengers and about 120 vehicles. I shot this photo from a helicopter right at sunset and was the cover a book I did on the ferry system. This photo illustrates a card in my collection of blank 5×7 inch photo note cards called Coho Photo Notes.
