Munson Manufacturing Launches

Alaskan Excursion Boat

For Holland America-Westours —Free Literature Offered—

Munson Manufacturing, Inc., in a new welded aluminum vessel cus-

Edmonds, Wash., recently launched torn built for Holland America Line

Westours. The 58-foot 6-inch Yu- kon Queen is fully certified by the

U.S. Coast Guard and complies with

SOLAS.

Triple Lugger L6140As, rated for 550 hp at 2,100 rpm, and coupled to three Hamilton 1031 jets power the

Yukon Queen at 30 knots. Aside from the main propulsion system, the roomy engine compartment holds two auxiliary 8 kw diesel gen- erators, six 8-D batteries for the 24- volt electrical system, and one bat- tery for the 12-volt emergency elec- trical system. Three diesel tanks for a total capacity of 1,150 gallons will allow the vessel a range of about 450 miles.

The pilothouse, located forward on the upper passenger deck pro- vides the skipper with 360-degree visibility. Standard navigation equipment, including radar, com- pass, depthsounder and loudhailer are mounted in the console, along with control panels for lighting, air conditioning and all auxiliary sys- tems.

The vessel is designed to comfort- ably carry 49 passengers and up to 300 cubic feet of luggage from Daw- son City to Eagle, on the Yukon

River in Alaska. Tables in white oak with brass trim complement the blues and mauves of the carpet and upholstery. From a galley equipped with a microwave, refrigerator and steam pots for soup, tourists will be able to get a meal during the six- hour trip.

So far, the Yukon Queen is the largest of the Sea Liner series built by Munson. A 55-foot, 70-passenger vessel built for the Smithsonian

Tropical Research Institute and a 42-foot excursion vessel for Rainy

Lake Cruises are a couple of the larger boats built in the series for high-speed passenger transport.

Munson Manufacturing has sub- stantially expanded its repertoire of vessels over the last five years. Ori- ginally in the business building small fishing boats. Bill Munson has added workboats, fire boats, po- lice boats, survey boats and passen- ger boats to the production line to meet the demand of the market.
