Hawaii Superferry
Rear view of the ship from Honolulu Pier 19. To get a sense of scale, view at original size and see the people disembarking down the stairs.
The Hawaii Superferry is currently not sailing to the other Hawaiian Islands because of a court injunction. The injunction is in place because the Superferry project failed to conduct an Environmental Assesment or an Environmental Impact Statement. Without the EA or EIS the Superferry should not have sailed. Despite a court ruling, the Superferry did sail to Kaui and Maui for two days. I actually rode the ferry largely out of curiosity. It may be a nice operation but there are surely reasons for concern.
