Be sure to mark your calendars for Saturday, March 22nd. We’ll be meeting at the new Center For Wooden Boats building, upstairs in the “Sail Loft” room for lunch and a terrific program.
Steve Nevey, Executive Director of Washington State Ferries, will be our main speaker, taking us through his remarkable maritime career. From his graduation from UK’s Warsash Maritime Academy to his time as a deck officer on Chevron vessels, ferries in Scotland, private yachts, and cruise ships, taking his seagoing career to all seven continents.
In 2008 he joined Holland America’s Seattle office to eventually become its Director of Marine Operations. When Covid hit the planet, his responsibility, as the line was shutdown, was to make sure all of Holland America’s employees from all over the world were returned to their home country.
Then, taking on an even more difficult task, he came aboard WSF in 2021 as the Director of Operations. Every bit of his long maritime experience along with a large dash of management skill was required to get the system back to a reliable service.
Leading into Steve’s presentation will be a look back on the history of our ferry system, presented by naval architect and PSM president, John Waterhouse.
