two Lucy Lowes out of Tacoma???


I'll have to research further!

The steamer Lucy Lowe, Captain Jordan, from Roche Harbor for Tacoma struck a

sunken log in Deception Pass, April 4th, and was beached to save life.

The lime cargo then fired the vessel, which was scuttled in two fathoms of water

and became a total loss.

The Lucy Lowe was formerly a sealing schooner, built at Victoria in 1884.

Steamer "Mischief"

August 22, 1891 left Tacoma 17 passengers for Queets

Steamer "Progress" 35 foot, propeller, out of Aberdeen

Steamer "Quinault"

Steamer "Thistle"  Capt. Arthur Benham steamboated on Grays Harbor
47 feet, 9 foot beam, and a 3 feet 6 inches hold, out of Hoquiam

Sternwheeler "Harbor Queen" Aberdeen, Hoquiam

..."Boats on the Harbor, as I recall them, were the Printer and Traveler, bar tugs, the T.C. Reed, Harbor Queen, Montesano, Rustler, Iola, Thistle, Wilma, Alert, Curio, Progress, Fleetwood, Market Boy, Emogene and Maude S. The Maude S. was the first naphtha launch, I believe, on Grays Harbor. She carried passengers between Cosmopolis and Aberdeen. Some of the skippers on these boats were Captain Reed, Captain Sanborn, Captain Benham, Captain Erickson, Captain Pete Wilson, Captain Thompson, Captain Ed Smith, Captain M. Harrison, Captain Earl Kellogg, Captain George Byram, Captain George Stone, Captain Burrows and Captain Hansen."...
