Another little bit of history in an historical year – the Catalyst was built & launched in 1932 for use by the Friday Harbor Labs… in its present incarnation, Bill and Shannon Bailey of Pacific Catalyst II, Inc. operate her as a key part of the small boat excursions they operate between here, the Inside Passage of British Columbia, and southeast Alaska.
They have invited the public to come view the MV Catalyst at the Friday Harbor Marina this weekend, before she goes north on May 1, 2009. Drop by & check it out – the ‘Open Boat’ is from 2pm-5pm on Sunday.
The Catalyst docked at the Labs in the 1930s, with the little village of Friday Harbor in the background.
