Washington State Ship
President Washington
In 1983, the "President Washington" was proclaimed the official state ship, and is the first container ship to be adopted by a state. The 860-foot vessel is one of the largest container ships ever built in the U.S. and has a 43,000 horsepower diesel engine. The 23-foot propeller weighs 98,000 pounds! The ship's route on the Pacific Ocean expands the natural geographical advantage of trade shipping between Washington State and Pacific Rim countries.
