Description
English: Steamer "Atalanta" at Gig Harbor as pictured circa 1914. She was built by Emmett Hunt and his brothers in 1913 at Marine Supply in Tacoma as a replacement for the workhorse "Crest." According to "Mosquito Fleet of South Puget Sound," the "Atalanta" had the distinction of being the last passenger steamer on the Tacoma-Gig Harbor route and the first south Sound steamer to carry cars in the pre-ferry era although they had to be hoisted on like cargo. She was 112-foot long and had a 500 h.p., five-cylinder, triple-expansion steam engine that allowed her to cruise at 16 knots. The "Atalanta" later serviced the Whidbey-Seattle route.
