Matthew McDowell
Matthew McDowell was a steamboat owner and builder associated with the Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet.
==Background==
McDowell was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and left home at age 15 to work as a coal passer for steamers of the Anchor Line. He had three sons and one daughter, all of whom were associated with his steamboat business. His three sons Albert(George Alexander), Robert, and John served as engineers and eventually all qualified as masters. His daughter Mary acted as purser. Mary later married Arthur Thompson, who became a well-known Puget Sound pilot.〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 20〕
McDowell's fleet was originally based in Tacoma near the smelter. He often slept on one of his boats, especially if he was to be its captain the following morning. Once a vessel he was sleeping in was nearly run down by a large steamer, so in 1905 Captain McDowell bought of land on Browns Point.
