The steamboat ''Dauntless'' operated in the early 1900s as part of the Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet. == Career == ''Dauntless'' was built in 1899 by Matthew McDowell at Tacoma to replace the ''Defiance'' (I) on the Seattle-Tacoma-East Pass run. ''Dauntless'' was 93' long and rated at 91 tons. In 1900, Captain McDowell built a newer and larger ''Defiance'' (II) at Tacoma, and sold ''Dauntless'' to the Moe Brothers, who put the vessel in the Bainbridge Island service.〔Newell, ed., ''McCurdy Marine History'', at 49, 60, 76 and 343.〕 In 1902, the Moe Brothers sold ''Dauntless'' to L.B. Hastings and Captain Mann, of Port Townsend. They put ''Dauntless'' on the Port Townsend-Irondale run. A steel mill at Irondale caused that town to boom, and ''Dauntless'', still capable of 11-knot speed, made quick trips on this route.〔 On December 30, 1923, a storm caused ''Dauntless'' to break loose from her moorings at Appletree Cove. The vessel was blown across the sound and washed up on the beach at Meadow Point, breaking up on the beach.〔〔Newell and Williamson, ''Pacific Steamboats'', at 120〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dauntless (steamboat)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
