Clallam (steamboat)
The steamboat ''Clallam'' operated for about six months from July 1903 to January 1904 in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. She was sunk in a storm on what should have been an ordinary voyage to Victoria, British Columbia.
==Construction==
''Clallam'' was built in 1903 at the shipyard of Edward Heath (1864–1934) in Tacoma. ''Clallam'' was 168' long, 32' on the beam, with 13' depth of hold and rated at 657-tons. She was propeller-driven and built of Douglas fir, with an compound engine which allowed her to cruise at . She had 44 staterooms.〔Newell, Gordon R., ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 136-142, Binford and Mort, Portland, OR (2nd Ed. 1960)〕〔(“The SS ''Clallam'' founders in the Strait of Juan de Fuca on January 8, 1904, with a loss of 56 lives”, HistoryLink.org )〕 ''Clallam'' was commissioned by the Puget Sound Navigation Company to run with another steamer, ''Majestic'' on the route from Tacoma to Seattle, Port Townsend and Victoria. During her launching on April 15, 1903, the woman who swung the bottle of champagne at her bow missed, and when the U.S flag was unfurled, it was upside down, in the sign of distress.〔 These were deemed unlucky signs by the superstitious among the waterfront and marine trades.〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 90, 100, 145, 392 and 433, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966〕
