Bellingham built Hybrid ferry boat Vessel of the Year

In my continuing effort to chat up new and interesting electric vehicles, here's a local winner. 

Built by All American Marine, Inc.,  the Enhydra is a 128-foot, 600-passenger boat which was built on Bellingham's downtown waterfront and launched in Squalicum Harbor. The Enhydra is the largest lithium-ion battery electric hybrid-powered vessel in North America. Last week at the International WorkBoat Show in New Orleans, Enhydra was named the “Boat of the Year, 2018.”

I've been following the story locally and am thrilled to see it being launched.  It will be part of the Red and White Ferry service in the Bay Area, I believe.  And here's the youtube video showing it off.
