Falcon (gasoline launch)
The launch ''Falcon'' operated in Puget Sound and nearby regions, and also on Lake Washington during the first part of the 1900s. The wreck of this vessel has been discovered in Lake Washington not far from Kirkland and is in good condition under 190 depth of water. This vessel should not be confused with the steam (later diesel) tug ''Falcon'' built in Tacoma, Washington in 1902.
==Construction and design==
''Falcon'' is reported to have been built in Bellingham, Washington in 1909 for the Island Transportation Company.〔Newell, Gordon R. ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', Superior Publishing, Seattle WA (1966), at page 160.〕 There is some conflict in the sources. Another more contemporaneous source shows a gasoline powered vessel named ''Falcon'' (U.S. Registry No. 204927) with the same sized engine (100 horsepower) as having been built in 1908 at Anacortes, Washington.〔(U.S. Dept. of the Treasury, Bureau of Statistics, ''Annual List of Merchant Vessels of the United States'' (for year ending June 30, 1911), at page 182. )〕〔Because the engine sizes match and no other gasoline launch named ''Falcon'' is shown in the 1911 Annual List, or any other annual list as it appears, the two sources, McCurdy in 1966 and the Annual Merchant Vessels list in 1911 appear to be describing the same vessel, with U.S. registry number 204997.〕
''Falcon'' was one of a number of gasoline-engined launches built in 1909.〔 ''Falcon'' was designed by L. H. Coolidge,〔 a Seattle naval architect.〔 Depending on the source, ''Falcon'' was either 〔 or 〔 long and either 〔 or 〔 on the beam,with a depth of hold of .〔 The overall size of the vessel was 46 gross and 26 registered tons.〔 The total number of crew was two.〔 Power was furnished by a 100 horsepower Eastern Standard engine.〔〔 The cost of construction and equipment for the vessel was $8,000.〔
Subsequent to construction, and prior to January 1, 1917, $3,294.83 was expended on permanent improvements to the ''Falcon''.〔 As of June 30, 1911, the homeport was listed as Port Townsend, Washington. As of January 1, 1917, the market value of the ''Falcon'' was assessed at $10,500.〔
