Washington State Ferry

Delivered In 168 Days

By Hydraulic Fishing Supply

The 333-passenger ferry W.L.

Callahan was recently delivered by

Hydraulic Fishing Supply, Inc.,

Anacortes, Wash., to the State of

Washington. The vessel was de- signed, built and delivered in a speci- fied contract period of 168 days.

Naval architects and marine engi- neers Elliot Bay Design Group, Se- attle, Wash., provided the design and pre-cut steel for the project.

Larry DeCan, project foreman at Hydraulic Fishing Supply, said the 68-foot, 70-ton ferry will be used to shuttle residents, visitors and con- struction workers from Tacoma to

McNeil Island. The island is home to the 1,000-inmate McNeil Island

Correctional Facility and about 50 houses, where support staff reside.

According to Warren Gay, ma- rine operations manager for the cor- rectional facility, the W.L. Callahan will replace a recently sold 58-pas- senger ferry in the fleet that serves the island. Mr. Gay said the correc- tional facility operates one 300-pas- senger and one 89-passenger ferry

The tug-barge vehicle transport ser- vice is run on 10-hour-a-day sched- ules. In all, Mr. Gay said, more than 400,000 passengers a year are trans- ported to and from the island.

Built at a cost of about $812,000, the steel-hulled Callahan is part of a six-year McNeil Island Correctional

Facility expansion plan. Inmate lev- els are expected to reach 1,800 by 1993 and its present staff of 600 is expected to grow as well.

The Callahan has a 25-foot beam and 4-foot draft and is powered by two 240-hp 871 Pacific Detroit Die- sel engines. Other propulsion equip- ment includes 40-inch by 32-inch

Michigan bronze propellers, 3-inch stainless steel shafting and Twin

Completes Excursion

Boat Interior Design

The John James Audubon, for- merly the Bayou Jean Lafitte, has undergone a complete interior reno- vation designed by Bauer Interiors,

Inc., New Orleans, La. The 125-foot excursion vessel, owned and oper- ated by The New Orleans Steam- boat Company, will shuttle passen- gers from the Aquarium of the

Americas to the Audubon Zoo. The vessel will also be available for pri- vate charter and dinner cruises in the evening.

The primary consideration in the design direction of the renovation was to provide a sleek, contempo- rary interior, consistent with the exterior hull design. Colors and materials, such as paints, stains, wall fabrics, and carpeting, were selected based on user profiles, prac- ticality, Coast Guard requirements and desired ambience.

Bauer Interiors, Inc., founded in 1979, has considerable experience in interior design solutions for the marine, health care and hospitality industries. Bauer Interiors' marine experience spans from private luxury yachts to 600-passenger ex- cursions boats.
