Lady of the Lake (steamboat)
''Lady of the Lake'' was a wooden steamboat that operated on Puget Sound from 1897 to 1903. Following a fire in 1903, the vessel was rebuilt as the tug ''Ruth''.
== Career==
''Lady of the Lake'' was built at Seattle in 1897. The engines for ''Lady of the Lake'' came from the burned steamer ''Quickstep'', which had in turn been purchased by Capt. John L. Anderson for $1,600 as a replacement for his Lake Washington steamer ''Winnifred'' which had burned at Leschi Park in early 1896.〔''McCurdy Marine History'', at 20, 24, 96, 113, and 270.〕 Anderson built ''Lady of the Lake'' by himself with his own money. Shortly after he had finished the boat, he was able to sell it for a good profit to Bellingham interests. The new owners took the vessel to run on Puget Sound.〔
In 1903 the steamboat was running on the short commuter route across Elliott Bay between Seattle and West Seattle, and was operated by the vessel's owners, Captains Charles H. Gaffner and J. Holbrook, Chief Engineer Parks, and Purser Greenwood. engaged in a rate war first with the small passenger-only steamer ''Garden City'' then more seriously with the steam ferry ''City of Seattle''.〔Newell, ''Inland Sea'', at 146.〕 There were two collisions between the vessels during the rate war. The owners of ''Lady of the Lake'' reduced their fares to five cents, which prompted the ferry operators to allow 40 rides for one dollar.〔〔Klein, ''Ferryboats'', at 5 and 146.〕
