| Anne Hanify | (Steam schooner) - The Kruse & Banks yard at North Bend completed the 1,340-ton Anne Hanify and Ryder Hanify, 235 x 43 x 17.7, with (16, 27, 46 x 33) triple-expansion engines and twin water tube bouers developing 1,000 horsepower. These two fine steam schooners entered the coastwise service of J. R. Hanify Co. of San Francisco, joining the Santa Barbara of 1900 and Santa Monica of 1902. The contrast between the old and new vessels of the Hanify fleet was typical of the transition of the wooden steam schooner during the first two decades of the century. The older steamers were of less than half the tonnage and carrying capacity of the new. The Santa Barbara was of 695 tons, 183.5 x 37.5 x 13.5, with a single water tube boiler and engine developing 550 horsepower, while the Santa Monica, with a tonnage of 497 and dimensions of 166 x 34 x 12, was powered with a compound (14, 32 x 24) engine and single Scotch boiler rated at 400 horsepower.

| Anne W | (Tug) - Another colorful old-timer among Puget Sound tugboats, the Anne W., was also retired by Pioneer Sand & Gravel Co. after many decades of gravel scow towing service. Built in 1913 at Portland as a steamer, the 100-foot vessel marked the transition from stern-wheel to tunnel stern propeller drive for Columbia River towboats. She was later sold to a road contractor who used her for some time hauling gravel scows from Steilacoom to Anderson Island. Gordon Newell, Maritime Events of 1967, H. W.

| Jeannette (steamer) | The United States steamer Jeannette, in charge of Lieutenant De Long and Chief Engineer Melville, sailed from San Francisco in August, 1879, on an Arctic exploring expedition destined for a fate, the horrors of which made humanity shudder. The fearful tale of suffering, starvation, cannibalism and death is too well known to require extended mention in this work. The Jeannette was crushed in the ice pack in latitude 77 degrees 15' north and longitude 1 degree 5' east, and the few who escaped the terrible death from starvation and cold reached civilization months afterward with health or reason shattered by the awful experience they had undergone. The United States steamer Alliance, which was sent from Norfolk, Va., to search for the Jeannette in 1881 approached within 590 miles of the pole, the highest altitude ever reached by a Government vessel.

| Suwannee (steamer) | The United States steamship Suwannee, while going through Shadwell passage, Queen Charlotte's Island, June 9, 1868, struck a rock with such force that she was impaled, and it was impossible to release her. The tide falling, she could not withstand the strain and went to pieces. The accident occurred about twenty-five miles north of Fort Rupert, and the Hudson's Bay steamer Otter was dispatched to the scene of the wreck and rescued the crew, conveying them to Victoria. As there was no hope for the vessel, the steamer New World was sent with a crew to strip the hulk of its armament and such portions of the machinery as were removable and transport them to San Francisco. The Suwannee was a comparatively new vessel, built in 1864, and was of about one thousand tons burden. She carried twelve guns and a crew of one hundred and seventy. The officers in command at the time of the disaster were: Richard Law, commander; M. W. Sanders, George W. Woods, F. Wildes and C. E. Clark, lieutenants; Thomas P. Wilson, master; J |
