MV Olympic was an automobile and passenger ferry of the Claiborne–Annapolis Ferry Company and, later, Washington State Ferries.
She was originally Gov. Harry W. Nice of the Claiborne–Annapolis Ferry Company, christened in 1938.[1] She was purchased by Washington State Ferries in 1951, for use on Puget Sound, and renamed the Olympic. Sold in 1997 to a private owner with the idea of turning it into a sightseeing vessel and museum. Nothing came of the idea and the boat was turned over to Seattle's Pacific Marine Foundation who sold it to a private owner in 2009/2010.
dimensions 191x62x14 [3]
As of 2020[update], she was in disrepair at Ketron Island, off Steilacoom, Washington[4]
