Hi Fredi, I would appreciate any help you can give me. My grandfather, Eric Frederick Carlson was a Ferry Captain on the Puget Sound for many years. I have been trying to locate any information on which ferries, when, etc. I know he received his Captain's Papers in 1931. He was suppose to be the youngest Captain at that time. (He did lie about his age on the papers, said he was born in 1909 instead of 1911) He was born and raised on Fox Island, he started helping out on the ferries when he was 9 or 10. I have been told he Captained quite a few different routes. Out of Steilacoom, Gig Harbor, Point Defiance to Vashon. Also the ferry landing at the bottom of 19th, I can't remember the name. I also believe he had the Fox Island Route, but the curator of the Fox Island Museum says NO, he has found no records. I hope I haven't rambled too much, but any help would be wonderful. Thank you Kristine Hurd Spanaway, WA -----Original Message----- From: Fredi Perry <fperry@oz.net> To: PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com <PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, January 29, 1999 9:30 AM Subject: Re: Turn of the Century Ferries >Their names?
