After years of delays, vessel now making day trips to Juneau, Haines and Skagway Nearly a decade after construction on it started and a month after it was put into service, the 280-foot-long Hubbard ferry was officially christened as the newest vessel in the Alaska Marine Highway System's fleet on Monday in Juneau. The Hubbard — first envisioned in 2006 as part of a project to shuttle passengers between Juneau, Haines and Skagway — has experienced plenty of rough waters before a couple dozen attendees boarded it for its christening during a stormy day at the AMHS terminal in Juneau.
