While your at the market, Have a look around. The Virginia V is the last remaining steamship that was once part of a vast fleet of vessels which traveled all over Puget Sound to bring fresh farm goods to Seattle. The 125′ ship was fully restored a few years ago for a cost of $5 million. The Virginia V is registered as an Historic Maritime vessel which means that everything had to be restored to original – including the massive working steam engine.
Location: Lake Union Park Wharf – 860 Terry Ave N. 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM
