From this article at WTOP :
A gotta love this next line:A Seattle-bound Washington state ferry mistakenly loaded with 484 more passengers than it was rated to carry had to return to the dock and leave the overflow at the Bremerton ferry terminal late Friday afternoon as Seattle Seahawks fans tried to reach an evening preseason game.Ferry staff apparently thought the Cathlamet could carry 1,600 passengers when its capacity is 1,200, Washington State Ferries spokeswoman Marta Coursey said. In all, 1,684 passengers were loaded, so 484 had to leave, she said.
Complacency could explain it...Coursey said she couldn't explain the "misjudged capacity," saying the Cathlamet has been on the route all summer..
The captain turned back after getting the total number of those on board, she said
Washington state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson apologized to the inconvenienced passengers, promising a thorough review and adding that "everyone in the chain of command at Washington State Ferries responsible for this oversight will be held accountable."
