Hyak (steamboat 1909)
''Hyak'' was a wooden-hulled steamship that operated on Puget Sound from 1909 to 1941. This vessel should not be confused with the sternwheeler ''Hyak'' which ran on the extreme upper reach of the Columbia River at about the same time. The name means "swift" or "fast" in the Chinook Jargon.
==Career==
''Hyak'' was built at Portland, Oregon in 1909 at the shipyard of Joseph Supple for the Kitsap County Transportation Company.〔Newell, ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 190 and 209.〕〔 The vessel was , rated at 195 tons, and was equipped with a triple expansion steam engine with cylinders 12, 18 and 32 inches in diameter with an 18 inch bore stroke on all cylinders.〔 The engine worked on steam produced at 225 pounds of pressure, and generated 750 horsepower.〔 ''Hyak'' was brought up from the Columbia River around the Olympic Peninsula by Capt. J.J. Reynolds. It was reported that during this trip the vessel was at times able to reach a speed of 20 miles per hour.〔
''Hyak'' was placed on routes running from Seattle to Bainbridge Island and Poulsbo, serving Port Madison, Suquamish, Seabold, Keyport, Lemola, Scandia, and Pearson.〔 The vessel was also used for excursions. Like many other Puget Sound steamers, ''Hyak'' used Pier 3 (now Pier 54) as its Seattle terminal.〔Faber, ''Steamer's Wake'', at 131, 135, 144, 165.〕 ''Hyak'' was one of the faster vessels on Puget Sound and was a favorite among passengers.〔
''Hyak'' was one of the last of the wooden-hulled steamships of Puget Sound to operate in regular commercial service. From 1935 to 1938 ''Hyak'' was owned by the Puget Sound Navigation Company, then the dominant steamboat and ferry company on Puget Sound.〔Kline, Mary S., and Bayless, G.A., ''Ferryboats -- A Legend on Puget Sound'', Bayless Books, Seattle, WA 1983 ISBN 0-914515-00-4, at page 350.〕 In 1941, ''Hyak'' was abandoned on a mudflat on the Duwamish River.〔〔
