Greyhound (sternwheeler 1890)
The Greyhound was an express passenger steamer which operated in 1890s to about 1915 on Puget Sound in Washington, United States. This vessel, commonly known as the ''Hound'', the ''Pup'' or the ''Dog'', was of unusual design, having small upper works, but an enormous sternwheel. Unlike many sternwheelers, she was not intended for a dual role as passenger and freighter, but was purpose-built to carry mostly passengers on express runs.
==Construction==
''Greyhound'' was built at Portland, Oregon by Capt. Claud Troup (1865-1896) in association with Frank W. Goodhue and others.〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 10-11, 88, 188, 214, 396 n.1, 529, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966 ISBN 0-87564-220-9〕 ''Greyhound'' was designed by Claude Troup's brother, James W. Troup, one of the most famous of the steamboat captains. She was long and narrow, and considered by some to be too flimsily built, which turned out to be quite wrong, as the ''Hound'' as she was called, proved to be a money-making fast moving boat.〔Kline, Mary S. ''Steamboat Virginia V'', at 20, Documentary Publishers, Bellevue, WA 1985 ISBN 0-935503-00-5〕 The ''Greyhound'' was long, on the beam depth. Twin steam engines of 14.5" bore and 72" stroke drove her enormous sternwheel.〔(Wright, E.W. ''Lewis & Dryden Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 375-76, Lewis and Dryden Printing Co. Portland, OR 1895 )〕 Mechanical data included: indicated horsepower 400; single boiler, steel firebox built by Willamette Iron Works, Portland, Oregon. Total grate surface , total heating surface : fuel consumption: 3/4 of one cord of fir wood 〔
