Southern Pacific ferryboat Santa Rosa

Southern Pacific ferryboat Santa Rosa (San Francisco)


Santa Rosa was built in 1927 for the Northwestern Pacific as an auto ferry. She was later operated by the Southern Pacific/Golden Gate line. In 1940, she went to Puget Sound and was renamed Enetai.

Puget Sound Navigation reengined her, replacing her diesel-electric drive with a with direct drive diesel engine and made her single-ended. She started on the Seattle-Bremerton run in 1941. Washington State Ferries retired Enetai in 1968 because she was single ended and expensive to operate.

Enetai returned to San Francisco, where she was restored to her original appearance and her original name. Santa Rosa is now docked at Pier 3 in San Francisco, and is leased out for parties and gatherings by Hornblower Yachts.
