An Excerpt from the Humboldt County Maritime Museum
"MADAKET is the last survivor of seven original ferries that transported mill
workers and families around Humboldt Bay. Built in 1909, launched in 1910 and
refurbished in 1989, she remains as a reminder of Eureka's bustling waterfront
era. The completion of the Samoa bridge in 1971 put the ferry service out of
business.
MADAKET continues to be the oldest vessel in continuous service in the
United States, boasts the smallest licensed bar in the state and is a California
historic vessel."
