MADAKET is the last survivor of seven original ferries
that transported mill workers and families around
Humboldt Bay. Built in 1910 and refurbished in 1989, she
remains as a reminder of Eureka's bustling waterfront era.
The completion of the Samoa bridge in 1972 put the ferry
service out of business, since then Madaket has regained a
new life as Humboldt Bay's harbor cruise flag boat. She
now offers cruises for school children, groups, and tourists.
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.
