"Kalakala, The Washington State Ferry Boat" (Aerial music video)
Remember my video "Abandoned Mix Vol. 1"? Remember the derelict remains of the Ferry boat MV Kalakala? I had always thought that it should have had it's own video. Since I am in between video projects It's a good time to catch on the things I wished I could have done. (lol) This is the flight from that day!
First a little background, The Washington State Ferry boat Kalakala has had a very colorful past. It was put into service in the Puget Sound in 1935 and was decommission in 67'. With its art deco looks the people of Seattle have always had this strong draw and emotional attachment to the machine. In it's glory day it wasn't hard to see why. It has been purchased many times with the promise that it would be restored one day.
Late in 2014, I started a new video series that I intend to continue every Fall for the years to come, "Abandoned Mix" which currently has 3 volumes. One of the locations I intended to fly was the once final resting place of the Kalakala in Tacoma Washington. It was sitting there in the Hylebos waterway decaying very sadly when I saw it. I admit I to was immediately drawn to it.
For awhile I had the last aerial video taken of it there until Washington decided to scrap it for good. On January 4th 2015 it was towed and dismantled. It's parts were actually spread across Seattle . Indeed it was an important relic out here in the Pacific Northwest and I guess I'll have to settle for second to the last or so on as more videos arise.
It was a very sketchy FPV. I didn't have a very good launch site and I was far away in the middle of a busy waterway. But then again all my FPV's are not ideal. :)
If your from the Pacific Northwest I hope you enjoy one last look at the Kalakala months before it's demise. If your from anywhere else enjoy the ride and view!
As always thank you for taking the time to watch my video! (Stream in HD if you can)
