| Photographer | Webster & Stevens |
| Date | ca. 1923 |
| Caption | The ferry "Lincoln of Kirkland" was launched in 1914 from the Anderson Shipbuilding Corporation in Houghton, on Lake Washington. About 1923, it was refurbished at the same yard. The ferry ran between Leschi and Madison Park to Kirkland until 1945. During World War II, the "Lincoln" ferried shipyard workers from Madison Park to a newly-constructed landing just north of the Lake Washington Shipyards at Houghton.
