Episode Details

Alaskas Department of Transportation seeks a new owner for the historic ferry Matanuska, a symbol of the states maritime heritage. Launched in 1963, the ship served for nearly six decades before being retired. Officials aim to preserve its legacy by finding new roles such as a museum ship, training vessel, tourism spot, or community hub. Proposals are due by April 14th, with reuse preferred over scrapping. The Matanuska, known as the queen of the fleet, faces challenges similar to other retired ferries, including costly maintenance and legal disputes. The state hopes to keep this icon contributing to Alaskas maritime world.
