Issaquah (steam ferry)
''Issaquah'' was a steam ferry built in 1914 that operated on Lake Washington and in San Francisco Bay.
== Design and construction==
''Issaquah'' was built in 1914 by Capt. John L. Anderson at his shipyard on Lake Washington at Houghton, Washington.〔 On launching, ''Issaquah'' slid down the shipway and then became stuck in the mud, and had to be towed off.〔(Issaquah Historical Society, ''Issaquah Ferry Chronology” ) (accessed 05-19-11).〕 The vessel is reported to have been acquired by Anderson Steamboat Company at a cost $33,571 in May, 1914.〔(Public Service Comm'n vs. Anderson Steamboat Co., Case No. 4348, published in Eighth Annual Report of the Public Service Comm'n of Washington (1918), at page 179. ) (accessed 06-06-11)〕
Captain Anderson was a prominent boatbuilder and steamboat operator on Lake Washington, and the ''Issaquah'' was the most elaborate vessel he had ever built. ''Issaquah'' was the first ferry built by a private owner in the Puget Sound region. ''Issaquah'' was also one of the first ferries in the region designed and constructed to transport automobiles. The upper deck included a hardwood dance floor which was used when the ferry was taken out on moonlight excursions.〔Kline and Bayless, ''Ferryboats -- A Legend on Puget Sound'', pages 150-51 and 339.〕
