The owner of a troubled historic ferry says the Makah Tribe of Washington is to blame for damage the vessel caused.
The tribe gave free mooring to the Kalakala. Owner Steve Rodrigues says the tribe's dock was unsafe, leading to an estimated $4,000 in damage caused by the ferry.
The tribe has since sued Rodrigues for the damage and for failing to remove Kalakala. Rodrigues says he plans to move the ferry to another location and still hopes to restore it.
