Albion (steamboat)
''Albion'' was a steamboat which ran on Puget Sound from 1898 to 1924. The vessel is perhaps best remembered for its service as beer delivery vessel and for a 1910 collision with the steamship ''Chippewa''.
== Career==
''Albion'' was built at Coupeville, Washington by Capt. H.B. Lovejoy, who intended the vessel to be sold for service on the Yukon River according to one source〔 or Cook Inlet according to another.〔 Power was supplied by an innovative compound steam engine devised by R.D. Ross.
According to a news report from 1910, ''Albion'' was actually taken up to Cook Inlet, but it was found that the headwaters of the inlet were too shallow to allow the vessel to operate, and so the ship was returned to Puget Sound. ''Albion'' was placed on the route from Seattle to Coupeville. ''Albion'' was the first steamer on the Seattle-Everett-Whidbey Island route.〔
Lovejoy sold ''Albion'' to J.B. Treadwell in 1903, and he took the vessel on one trip to Cook Inlet in Alaska. In 1906, ''Albion'' was sold to the Merchants Transportation Company, a Tacoma firm.〔 In 1907, ''Albion'' was sold again, this time to the Angeles Brewing and Malting Company, and in this capacity was engaged to haul cargos of beer from Port Angeles to Seattle and other cities, as well as haul freight and carry passengers to Port Angeles〔〔
