Vessels Make Pit Stop

At Bay Ship

Traditionally Alaskan cruise vessels are known to make regular stopovers at

Bay Ship & Yacht Co.'s Alameda, Calif, shipyard and drydock facility for routine maintenance and repairs. The yard has served as host to clients, such as Special

Expedition Marine, which brought in its

Sea Bird and Sea Lion vessels before reaching their winter destinations in either Mexico or the Caribbean.

Yorktown Clipper, which is owned by

Clipper Cruise Lines underwent a major steam boiler refit, while Alaska Sight- seeing Cruise West brought its Spirit of '98 for maintenance, as well as Spirit of

Endeavour for a habitability retrofit.

Recent customers include Red &

White Fleet's tour boat Harbor Princess, which was at the yard for re-engining, joiner upgrades and dydocking; Blue &

Gold Fleet's Pier 39-based tour boat Bay
