Lake Washington steamboats and ferries
Lake Washington steamboats and ferries operated from about 1875 to 1951, transporting passengers and vehicles, and moving freight and towing barges and log rafts across Lake Washington, is a large lake immediately to the east of Seattle, Washington. Before modern highways and bridges were built, the only means of crossing the lake, other than the traditional canoe, was by steamboat, and, later, by ferry. While there was no easily navigable connection to Puget Sound, the Lake Washington Ship Canal now connects Lake Washington to Lake Union, and from there Puget Sound is reached by way of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks.
==Beginnings==
In the 1870s the sternwheeler ''Lena C. Gray'' was built in Seattle, and operated on Lake Washington most of the time, towing barges.〔Carey, Roland, ''The Steamboat Landing on Elliott Bay'', at page 36, Alderbrook Publishing, Seattle, WA 1962〕 In about 1886, Edward F. Lee established a shipyard on the west side Lake Washington. The Lee yard is believed to have built the following ships that worked Lake Washington and Puget Sound: the small steam scow ''Squak'', ''Laura Maud'', ''Elfin'', ''Hattie Hansen'' (also known as ''Sechelt''), and ''Mist''. Other early steamboats on the lake were ''Kirkland'' and ''Mary Kraft''.〔(“Lee Shipyard, first business on Sand Point (Lake Washington), opens about 1886", Historylink.org ) (accessed 1/30/08)〕
G.V. Johnson also built a shipyard on the lake in 1888, and from it launched, among others, the steamers ''L.T. Haas'', ''Acme'', and ''City of Renton''. Another early steamboat on Lake Washington was the clipper-bowed yacht-like ''Cyrene'', built in 1891.〔Newell, Gordon R., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at page 160, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966.〕 and the ''C.C. Calkins''. In 1893, ''Hattie Hansen'', later to have a tragic end off Vancouver Island was built at the Lee shipyard. ''Hattie Hansen'' only served on the lake until the next year, when she was brought down the Black and Duwamish rivers and placed on the Seattle-Dogfish Bay route under Capt. J.J. Hansen.〔McCurdy, at 23, 193, 377〕
