The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

The Wahkiakum County ferry Oscar B. will cease service 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. next Tuesday for some mechanical work.

Public Works Director Chuck Beyer said a technician will update an alarm system and move coolant tanks from engine walls to a bulkhead in order to reduce noise.

"We've been trying to schedule this technician for about a year," he said. Beyer added he feels some of the work will come under warranty.

The ferry will make its last run at 8 a.m. before shutting down for the work, he added.
