THE 610-FOOT cargo ship Astoria Bay prepares to depart from Port of Port Angeles Terminal 3 on Friday (Nov. 1) after spending about a week taking on debarked logs that were grown on privately owned North Olympic Peninsula forestlands.

The ship — one of the largest of the log ships that call on Port Angeles — carries a maximum of about 8 million board feet of timber for ports in Asia on its decks and in its holds.
