The Inter-Island Ferry Authority on Wednesday welcomed its one millionth passenger since the ferry service began operating between Ketchikan and Prince of Wales Island in 2002. IFA General Manager Ron Curtis waited atop the ferry loading ramp at the Ketchikan terminal on Wednesday as passengers and vehicles boarded the IFA vessel Prince of Wales for its 3:30 p.m. sailing to Hollis. Curtis rode the boat from Hollis to Ketchikan on Wednesday morning because he realized that, with seven more bookings, the millionth passenger would walk on in Ketchikan for its return sailing that afternoon.
