Kitsap County Transportation Company
The Kitsap County Transportation Company was an important steamboat and ferry company that operated on Puget Sound. The company was originally founded in 1898 as the Hansen Transportation Company.
==Hansen Transportation==
The Kitsap County Transportation Company grew out of a business known as the Hansen Transportation Company. The founder of Hansen Transportation was Capt J.J. Hansen who moved to Tacoma from Minnesota in 1888. In Minnesota, and later in Boxton, North Dakota, J.J. Hansen had been in the business of selling farm equipment. J.J. Hansen had two sons who joined him in the steamboat business, Captains Henry A. Hansen and Ole L. Hansen (1875-1940), as well as a son-in-law, Capt. Alf Hostmark. The business was formally organized in 1898, but started earlier.〔Kline and Bayless, ''Ferryboats'', at 107-108.〕 Hansen Transportation initially acquired the steamer ''Quickstep'' and put it on the mail route between Port Madison and Poulsbo. Business proved good, and the business was able to acquire the ''Hattie Hansen'', trading the ''Quickstep'' for machinery to build another steamboat, the ''Sentinel''. The Hansens then become involved in a rate war with the Moe Brothers who were running the steamer ''Reliance'' on the Dogfish Bay route in against the Hansens' ''Sentinel''.〔
