Ferry housing

Foss Maritime Company of Rainier, Ore., prepares framing for a cocoon-like structure at Crescent Bay that will soon house sections of the new Sanpoil ferry that will replace the current Martha S ferry at the Keller crossing. The first section, the middle, of the new ferry should arrive sometime during the second week of March. The new ferry will come to Grand Coulee in three sections and be welded together at the new work site. The Sanpoil will be in service sometime this year.
