Cummis-powered Ferry

Rode a ferry yesterday, not a very big one, but the Columbia Princess was powered by four Cummins 6B engines

They were the non-turbo 12-valve with VE injection pumps. When we pulled onto the boat I heard an oh-so-familiar sound, so I walked over to one of the engines and sure enough, it said "Cummins 6B"

EDIT: can't believe I typoed the title, how embarrassing
