Last weekend my wife and I made a trip to Kirkland Washington, which is on the Eastside of Lake Washington for those who don't know. Docked at Kirkland's mariana was a beautiful 1922 steamer, the Virginia V, also known as "V-5".

What a cool ship to see in person, we're going to take a trip on it as soon as we can. cop:

Nice!!! Did they let you tour it?

Unfortunetly it was already hosting a private party, so the wife and I had to look at her from the dock. I did find out that they offer dinner tours sometimes and might go for that. They shure don't make them like that anymore. cop:
