San Rafael (steamboat)
''San Rafael'' was a steamboat that operated on San Francisco Bay from 1878 to 1901. The components of the vessel and a sistership were manufactured in Brooklyn then shipped to San Francisco where the ships were assembled. ''San Rafael'' remained in service, primarily as a ferry, until the vessel was sunk in a collision with a ferry on November 30, 1901. Although ''San Rafael'' sank rapidly, quick action by the crews limited the loss of life to five persons or fewer. Subsequent litigation established negligence on the part of both captains as the cause of the collision.
==Design and construction==
''San Rafael'' and a sistership, ''Saucelito'' were built to the same specifications in components at Greenpoint, New York, now a part of Brooklyn. The builder was Benjamin C. Terry. The components were then shipped to the west coast either by rail〔MacMullen, ''Paddle-wheel days'', at 32, 33, and 148.〕 or ship.〔Stanton, ''American Steam Vessels'', at 439.〕 Terry himself traveled west to supervise the assembly of the vessels.〔 Once complete, ''San Raphael'' was said by a newspaper, the ''San Francisco Call'', to be "by far the prettiest boat that ever cleft the waters of San Francisco Bay".〔Mariner's Museum, ''Bard Brothers'', at 40 and 42.〕 Both vessels were built as shallow draft-steamboats, which required a light-weight hull. To strengthen the hull, these vessels were built with a "hog truss", a bridge-like structure arching fore-and-aft along both sides the vessel with the function of stiffening the hull.〔Hunter, ''Steamboats of the Western River'', at 97.〕
