Postcard depicting Washington State Ferries' "M.V. Klickitat" running aground. Text on the front of the postcard reads, "but Captain...this isn't my stop!" Handwritten message on reverse of postcard reads, "Went aground in 1989. Problem was reversing - gear - put it aground rather than crunching the dock." Printed text on reverse of postcard reads, "M.V. Klickitat, Port Townsend - Whidbey Island - Keystone Landing - almost! This rare grounding of the Washington State Ferry Klickitat was caused by a failure in the boat's steering system." Photo by John Kaiser/Northstar Photography.Collection
