Urania (steamboat)
The steamboat ''Urania'' was a vessel that operated on Lake Washington in the first part of the 20th Century. Built of wood, the vessel burned and sank in 1914. In 2002, the wreck was found and photographed by divers.
==Construction==
''Urania'' was built in 1907 on Lake Washington, for Captain John Anderson, to join his fleet of steamboats on Lake Washington, operating under the name of the Anderson Steamboat Company. She was long.〔(Report on discovery of wreck of Urania by Submerged Cultural Resources Exploration Team ) (accessed 2008-02-14)〕〔Newell, Gordon R., ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 215, Binford and Mort, Portland, OR (2nd Ed. 1960) states that ''Urania'' was only 58 feet long. This must be a transposition of numbers. All photos of ''Urania'' show a vessel that is easily 85 feet long.〕 “Urania” was the Greek name for the muse of astronomy and astrology Captain Anderson named his vessels after classical gods, starting with ''Xanthus'' and ''Cyrene''. ''Urania'' was similar to but slightly smaller than another Anderson vessel, ''Fortuna'', built in 1906. Captains Wells Green and C.R. Hall were two of ''Urania''’s masters.〔Newell, ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 220.〕
