This scene, photographed by 1922, shows the side-wheeler ferry Storm King approaching the East Beach ferry dock, at the east end of Lake Crescent.

This scene was photographed by “Wheeler Fotos” by 1922 and shows the side-wheeler ferry Storm King at the Fairholme ferry dock, at the west end of Lake Crescent. Clallam County ferry service on Lake Crescent was discontinued after the Olympic Highway was completed along the south shore of the lake in 1922.

This scene is a close up view of the Clallam County ferry fare sign which is visible in the second photograph above.

This scene was photographed by “Wheeler Fotos” about 1918 at the head of Lake Crescent. Shown on the left is the Fairholme ferry landing and on the right the Hotel Fairholme. The Fairholme ferry landing was along the early automobile route to Forks, Washington and the west end of Clallam County, before the road along the south shore of Lake Crescent was completed in 1922. Captions on some old photographs call this ferry landing “Sol Duc Landing”. The wake from the eastbound ferry from which this scene was photographed is visible back to the ferry landing.
