The Eureka - Page 1



 

Big Old-Fashioned Boat
The Eureka was built in 1890 as the railroad ferry Ukiah. From 1922 to 1941 she hauled 
over 2,000 passengers and 100 autos at a time across the Bay.  With a four-story 
steam engine, Eureka was the largest passenger ferry of her time.

The Eureka was used in the TV series Nash Bridges as a temporary police station
(the original headquarters was supposedly damaged in a quake).
Part of the show was actually filmed on the ship weekly.
