It was used for such purposes (buffet and dance), but the everyday routine was much more prosaic.

Clue 5: Scrapped in Tacoma

Bravo Jim. It is the beautiful Kalakala



- restored 1933-35 from the remainders of the ferry Peralta that was destroyed by a fire

- the streamline superstructure was inspired by airplane construction, new welding techniques were used

- 1935 part of the Washington State Ferries fleet, service in Puget Sound, first commercial radar system added 1946

- retired in 1967, towed to Alaska and used as a shrimp canning factory (would you believe it?)



Over to you
