Anacortes Ferry Terminal, Ship Harbor (Fidalgo Island)

48° 30.4′ N · 122° 40.6′ W

The Washington State Ferries terminal for the San Juan Islands and Sidney, BC, in Ship Harbor just east of Shannon Point. Crews often join or leave boats in the islands by ferry from here.

Practical

Coordinate is the OSM ferry slip. Ferries leave often; keep clear of the slips and of ferries working Guemes Channel and Thatcher Pass. Ship Harbor is not good holding ground: boats anchoring there in heavy weather should expect to drag (Coast Pilot). Shannon Point has a light and a mariner-activated sound signal (key VHF 81A five times); a shoal runs north-west off the point.
