King and Winge Shipbuilding Company
The King and Winge Shipbuilding Company was an important maritime concern in the early 1900s on Puget Sound. The shipyard was located at West Seattle. The owners were Thomas J. King (1843-1925) and Albert M Winge. King was born in Boston and learned to build ships under the famous Donald McKay. He came to Puget Sound in about 1880, and worked in the shipyards of Hall Bros. and T.W. Lake before starting his own shipyard with Winge.〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Maritime History of Pacific Northwest'', at page 358, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966〕 King’s partner, Albert L. Winge was a native of Norway.
==Early marine construction==
In 1902, the passenger steamer ''Lady of the Lake'', built at Lake Washington in 1897, burned and was rebuilt in 1905 by King and Winge as the tug ''Ruth''.〔McCurdy, at 20 and 113〕
In 1909, the steam tug ''Elk'' was wrecked at Restoration Point but was salvaged and towed to King and Winge for repairs.〔McCurdy, at 168〕 In February 1911, the gas schooner ''E.L. Dwyer'' capsized at a pier in Seattle, as her cook, almost submerged in cold salt water, was incongruously shouting “Fire, fire!” She was repaired at King and Winge.〔McCurdy, at 196〕 Also in 1911, the cannery tender ''Catharine M.'', of the Pillar Point Packing Company, was wrecked in Alaska. She was salved sufficiently to be returned to Seattle in 1912 to the King and Winge shipyard, where she was rebuilt and refitted with a Union gasoline engine.〔McCurdy, at 206〕
Seal hunting in the Arctic, which had come close to exterminating the herds, was banned in 1911 by international treaty. This meant a number of sealing boats had to be converted to other duties, which included the schooner ''Casco'', which many years before had been one of the boats on which Robert Lewis Stevenson cruised the south seas. King and Winge converted installed a gasoline auxiliary engine in her and converted her to serve in the halibut fishery.〔McCurdy at 207〕
