Learn About Maritime History Aboard Washington State Ferries

Planning a trip to the San Juan Islands? Make your ferry ride even better!
Washington State Park rangers are onboard select Anacortes/San Juan Islands sailings this summer, giving talks and handing out materials about the area’s rich maritime history and natural beauty.
Maritime Washington is proud to support this special program in collaboration with Washington State Parks and Washington State Ferries. Together, we're helping visitors explore our state's maritime heritage and discover how to enjoy the islands responsibly
