Title
English: Steamer DEFIANCE at Colman Dock in Seattle, ca. 1912
Description
English:

Operated as part of the famed "Mosquito Fleet" of the Puget Sound

PH Coll 794.31

The DEFIANCE was a 93 foot propeller steamer built by Matthew McDowell at Tacoma in 1900, replacing the DAUNTLESS on the Seattle-Tacoma-West Pass route. The name was changed to KINGSTON around 1913 and the ship was sold to the Whidby Island Transportation Co., serving Silverdale, Bainbridge Island, and other locations on the Kitsap Peninsula. The ship was converted to diesel power in 1933 for use as a fish hauler, but struck rocks at Whitestone Narrows on May 20 of that year. The KINGSTON, originally DEFIANCE, was a complete loss.
