One of the ferry boats of the Galveston Ferry system, Robert Lanier. " .... The Gibb Gilchrist is a traditionally powered and steered vessel. The R.C. Lanier, D.C. Greer, Ray Stoker, Jr. and R.H. Dedman, the four newest ferries, employ a "cycloidal propulsion" system. Instead of conventional propellers and rudders, power is obtained from two vertical cycloidal propulsors, one at each end of the boat. This technology allows the ferry to make 360 degree turns or to move sideways with no forward or backward movement. It also allows the Captain to make quicker stops or slow the vessel much more rapidly than conventionally propelled boats."
Beyond the ferry, one can see the Bolivar Lighthouse located on Bolivar Peninsula.

Transpac dock construction part of $20 million Alaskan project
"While most of Anacortes was quietly enjoying the start of a leisurely summer, a longtime local business was constructing a 50-by-400-foot steel pipe pontoon floating dock able to withstand the wind, waves and cold weather of Alaska. The dock was designed to accommodate cruise ships that are more than 1,000 feet long and carry more than 4,000 passengers."

"The Adventuress is a 133-foot gaff-rigged schooner. Built at the Rice Brother’s Boatyard, in East Boothbay, Maine as a private yacht, the ship was launched in 1913. Her owner, John Borden II, the founder of Chicago’s Yellow Cab Co. sailed The Adventuress from Maine, around the tip of South America, and north to the Arctic. Borden intended to sail to Alaska to catch a bowhead whale for the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Borden's efforts to catch a whale failed and he sold Adventuress to the San Francisco Bar Pilots Association, which marked the beginning of her career as a workboat. For 35 years, she transferred pilots to and from cargo vessels near the Farallone Islands. During World War II, she was a United States Coast Guard vessel, guarding San Francisco Bay"
Around 1952, Adventuress was brought to Seattle, where she went through several owners. Eventually, she wound up in the care of Monty Morton and Ernestine Bennett, who managed a non-profit sail training organization called Youth Adventures. Under their ownership, the boat was restored to most of her original lines.
Today Adventuress is operated by the non-profit organization Sound Experience, as a platform for environmental education about Puget Sound."

"In 1999, Crowley put into service two of the most powerful cycloidal propulsion tugs ever built – the Prince William Sound Class’ Nanuq and Tan’erliq – in Valdez, Alaska. Offering “Best Available Technology” (BAT) these 153-foot, 10,192-HP tugs and their crews have been safely assisting and escorting tankers into and out of Valdez and Prince William Sound."
