Magnolia (steamboat)
''Magnolia'' was a wooden-hulled steamship that operated on Puget Sound from 1907 to 1937.
==Career==
''Magnolia'' was built at Tacoma in 1907 for the Tacoma and Burton Navigation Company, which intended her to replace ''Burton on the company's routes around Tacoma and Vashon Island. The company's chief rival was the Vashon Navigation Company, which ran the steamer ''Vashon'', under Captain Chauncey “Chance” Wyman. Once launched, ''Magnolia'', under Capt. Fred Sutter, raced ''Vashon'' daily between landings to be the first boat to pick up the business. By 1909, the rate wars had died down, and ''Magnolia'' and ''Vashon'' were running on different schedules.〔Newell, ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 151, 152, 182, and 188.〕
''Magnolia'' had been transferred to the route between Seattle and Olympia. For a time in 1911, the steamer ''Nisqually'' was run on the same route, but when ''Nisqually'' was taken off the route and sent to the Columbia River, ''Magnolia'' became the last steamboat to make the Seattle-Olympia run. As passenger fares fell off, ''Magnolia'' was converted to a towboat.〔
