''Concordia'' was built in 1930 at Tacoma, Washington.〔Newell, ''Ships of the Inland Sea''.〕
''Concordia'', popularly called the ''Conkie'', was the last steamboat built on either Puget Sound or the Columbia, and was one of only four steamboats constructed on Puget Sound after 1920. (None were built on the Columbia River). The others built on Puget Sound were ''Virginia V'', ''Sightseer'' (ex-''Vashona''), and ''Arcadia''.〔Newell, ed., ''McCurdy Marine History'', at page 304 and 509.〕〔 Kline, Mary S., ''Steamboat Virginia V'', at 34.〕
''Concordia'' was built by the Vashon Navigation Company to replace the larger ''Vashona''. The volume of business on the company's major route, from Tacoma to Quartermaster Harbor, had fallen off, and would not support the larger vessel. Originally Concordia was to be , but John Manson, the company president, discovered that if the vessel were less than 65, the maritime regulations would permit the vessel to be operated with one less crewman. Four feet of hull were then omitted from the final design on the stern end, which gave the completed vessel a truncated or lopped-off appearance.〔Findlay and Paterson, ''Mosquito Fleet of South Puget Sound'', at page 94.〕 '' Vashona'' was then sold to the Anderson Steamboat Company.〔Newell, ''McCurdy Marine History'', at 411.〕
