Vashon (steamboat 1905)
''Vashon'' was a wooden steamboat built in 1905 at Dockton, Washington on Vashon Island. The vessel was active on Puget Sound in the early decades of the 1900s. ''Vashon'' should not be confused with the sternwheeler ''Vashon'' which also ran on Puget Sound.
==Career==
''Vashon'' was built for the Vashon Navigation Company which was then engaged in fierce competition with the Tacoma and Burton Navigation Company for the freight and passenger business on the steamboat routes in the Tacoma and Vashon Island areas of Puget Sound. ''Vashon'' was the first steamboat constructed by the Martinolich Shipbuilding Company, which in 1904, under the company's founder, John Martinolich, a Croatian immigrant, had set up a shipyard on Vashon Island at the small settlement of Dockton.
The Vashon Navigation Company intended ''Vashon'' to replace their steamer ''Norwood'' which had not performed well against the ''Burton'', a new vessel placed in service in 1905 by the rival Tacoma and Burton Navigation Co. ''Vashon'' competed with ''Burton'', and later ''Burtons replacement, ''Magnolia'' by racing from landing to landing trying to be the first to pick up passengers or embark freight. By 1909, the rivalry had died down when ''Magnolia'' was transferred to other routes.
''Vashon'' was dismantled in 1930.
