Note that only the Coho Ferry website is the sole source I can find saying Charles H. Marshall founded the Black Ball Line: the majority say the group of Quaker merchants. But he did become principal owner some time later. Tearlach 04:29, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Any suggestions? It's a short article that may benefit from more paragraphing, but other than that... DolphinCompSci 07:57, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
- Looks pretty good to me now. More a case of needing expansion than cleanup; I'm sure a great deal more could be said about the original Black Ball Line, which was famous enough to get into a shanty: [1]. I've removed the Cleanup tag. Tearlach 19:12, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
The book Ferryboats: a legend on Puget Sound (Kline & Bayless, 1983) ISBN: 0914515004 has tons of information on this subject. I own the book, but haven't the time to add more to this article... Aep 06:48, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- I own Puget Sound Ferries and one of these days I'll get around to adding to this article. DolphinCompSci 17:10, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
I have been working on the page Harstine Island, Washington I have learned that possibly as late as 1970 the island was served by ferry (now it has a bridge) the name of the ferry appears to have been the Pickering Passage ferry. Best guess is that the Black Ball line ran the ferry then sold it to the county who ran it until the bridge was built. If you have information or references (one way or the other) that would be helpful please let me know. Jeepday 17:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
This page was split and I am working on redirecting the wiki links. I have all the ones to Puget Sound Navigation Company done at this writing and will probably have all the ones to Black Ball Line (trans-Atlantic packet) done before anyone reads this. Jeepday 03:20, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
