Title
English: Steamship QUEEN at dock in Port Townsend, Washington, following a fire at sea on February 27, 1904
Description
English: Caption on image: S.S. Queen showing portion burned Saturday morning Feb. 27th 1904, at sea. 218 people aboard, 14 lives lost. Nowell, 1440
The steamship QUEEN of the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. was on her scheduled passenger run up the coast from San Francisco to Puget Sound when, off Tillamook Head, Oregon, at four o'clock on the morning of February 27, 1904, fire broke out below decks and quickly enveloped the ship's stern. The captain and crew battled the blaze with utmost skill and courage and in this manner, a wholesale disaster was averted. The steamer reached Port Townsend the following day, but 14 lives were lost before the fire was controlled and the steamer sustained major damage, the stern and texas being burned out and much damage done to the decks and superstructure.
