MV Kitsap (1925)

For the later ferry named Kitsap, see MV Kitsap

M/V Kitsap was a ferry built at the Lake Washington Shipyards in Houghton, Washington (now Kirkland) and launched in 1925. She was 165 feet long, and her capacity was a little more than 30 modern automobiles, and 325 passengers. She was owned originally by the Kitsap County Transportation Company, which would be acquired by Puget Sound Navigation Company and eventually by Washington State Ferries. Eventually she was sold to the Oregon Department of Transportation and finally sold to a private party to be used as a fish cannery but sank when being towed to Alaska.

A new, much larger ferry with the same name was built in 1980, and is still in service on Puget Sound.
