On Thursday, Aug. 8, there will be free tours and a public christening of the S.S. Legacy, a 200-foot passenger ship docked at Fisherman’s Terminal on dock 9 (in front of Chinooks). The boat is owned by Un-Cruise Adventures, a tour company that explores the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska and Mexico and which operates out of Fisherman’s Terminal.

The S.S. Legacy is a replica of a late 1890s coastal steamer brought here for the gold fields of Alaska, according to CEO of Un-Cruise Adventures, Captain Dan Blanchard. “She represents the life and times of a bygone era and the heritage of Ballard herself,” Blanchard writes. The tours will be from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. and the christening is 6-7 p.m. and open to the community.
