Description |
English: PH Coll 794.54 The IROQUOIS arrived in March 1907, purchased from the Great Lakes for the Puget Sound Navigation Company by Charles E. Peabody and Joshua Green. The IROQUOIS was built in Toledo, Ohio in 1901 for the Arnold Transportation Company. The vessel registered 1,169 tons, with dimensions of 214x34.4x21.2 ft. The engine was of triple-expansion steam type and produced 2,000 hp. She was one of the first two vessels in Inland Puget Sound service to be fitted with United Wireless Telegraph equipment. The IROQUOIS served initially on the Victoria-Seattle route, moving later to Puget Sound routes. Following World War I, a growing need for car ferries caused the passenger-only IROQUOIS to return to service on the Great Lakes in 1920. It was purchased again by Puget Sound Navigation in 1928 and refitted as a "night steamer" between Seattle, Port Angeles, and Victoria. In 1947, the IROQUOIS was sold to Black Ball Transport and extensively modified as a freighter, remaining in service on the Puget Sound. Eventually sold to an Alaskan crab processor, the vessel was scuttled in 1982, having served for over 80 years. (Sources: 1) Newell, Gordon, ed. "The H.W.

This is almost certainly Northern Pacific Pier No. 1 (later Pier 50). |
