and sought to force the state to pay approximately $50 million for restoration of the ferry under a proposal Rodrigues previously submitted, which was rejected. In November 2012, Karl Anderson, owner of the Hylebos Waterway uplands where the boat was moored, took possession of the vessel in exchange for the $4,000 he claimed Rodrigues owed him in back rent. Dismantling On January 4, 2015, owner Karl Anderson announced that the Kalakala would be dismantled for scrap metal. On January 22, the Kalakala was towed to a Tacoma dry dock and scrapping began immediately. By the first week of February scrapping was completed with only a few pieces such as windows, pilot house, and the rudder saved and sold as souvenirs. Artistic projects Several art projects arose from fascination with Kalakala, including a full-length album of solo cello compositions recorded on board the vessel in November 2003, called Songs from a Parallel Universe. There is an as-yet unreleased film about the "Ghost Dance" that was filmed on Kalakala. There was also a live concert featuring the Icelandic band múm, Serena Tideman and Eyvind Kang, on board the Kalakala. The watercolorist Robert Tandecki painted her among her later days. Artist Cory Ench painted a large mural of Kalakala in downtown Port Angeles in 1995. In 2002, it was home to the Undergraduate Degree Shows for Cornish College of the Arts Design Department. A temporary pirate radio station broadcasting from Kalakala is featured in the 2005 documentary film Pirate Radio USA. The city of Kirkland bought some of the scrapped pieces of Kalakala and, , is considering using them in a public art project. Several pieces of the vessel were placed in the parking lot of Salty's on Alki in West Seattle, including a wheelhouse that faces Elliott Bay and the Seattle skyline.
