Tacoma (steamship)
''Tacoma'' was a steamship that served from 1913 to 1938 on Puget Sound. Built of steel, ''Tacoma'' was known for being one of the fastest and best-designed vessels to operate on Puget Sound. ''Tacoma'' was particularly noted for high-speed service from 1913 to 1930 on the route between Tacoma and Seattle.
==Design and construction==
On 12 August 1912, the Puget Sound Navigation Company ("PSN'") contracted with the Seattle Construction and Drydock Company to build for them a passenger vessel which would run at a regular speed of 19 knots and which would be ready for service by 1 March 1913.〔 PSN had decided to replace its fleet of wooden steamers with steel-built replacements, and ''Tacoma'' was intended to be the first of a new series of high-speed vessels.〔 Tacoma was designed by James V. Paterson, the president of Seattle Construction and Drydock.〔
''Tacoma'' was launched on 3 May 1913. The vessel was christened by Florence Lister, daughter of the governor of Oregon. Various dignitaries were brought to the launching in another PSN vessel, the steel steamship ''Indianapolis'', with PSN President Joshua Green on board.〔 Acceptance trials were conducted on 16 June 1913, and the vessel was found capable of 20.78 knots. Later the vessel was found to be capable of running even faster, at 21.5 knots.〔
