One of the few streamline style boats constructed, the Kalakala was a Seattle institution from its beginning of service in 1935 till it was retired in 1967. Story to 2004 here. More.
I had no idea that the streamlining vogue which was so prevalent in cars, trains and airplanes in the 1930's had also been used in water transport as well.
The enclosed style makes sense in such a rainy climate.
