| Relief (lightship) | So violent were the January, 1911, storms which swept the North Pacific that the lightship Relief was torn from her moorings at Umatilla Reff on January 14, 1911. Fortunately the 84 mile winds were blowing offshore and the Relief was carried out to sea rather than onto the reef, later making Port Angeles under her own steam and refuming to station after an absence of four days. The Norwegian collier litania, 6,000 tons, stranded in the San Juans on February 3, being refloated the following day by the tugs Lorne and Tatoosh and proceeding to Esquimalt for repairs.

| Relief (lightship) | In early spring, the Coast Guard announced its intention of replacing the Columbia lightship with a lighted buoy during the period from May 30 to July 2, that period being utilized for routine maintenance on the light vessel. This arrangment made it unnecessary to retain the Columbia's sister ship Relief, and she was placed in layup at the Seattle Coast Guard base, leaving only one commissioned lightship on the Pacific Coast. The two 128 x 30-foot diesel-powered lightships were built at East Boothbay, Maine in 1950 as the last such vessels constructed for the U.S. Coast Guard.* *Early in 1976 the Relief was assigned to the State Capital Historical Society to be maintained by its affiliated Olympia-South Sound Maritime Chapter as a live museum ship on the Olympia waterfront. The vessel, in full operational condition, was transferred from the Seattle Coast Guard Base to Olympia by a crew of experienced maritime men who are members of the Maritime Chapter, assisted by former members of her Coast Guard crew.

| Relief (steamer) | In August, Cassidy & Co. put the new steamer Relief,* a well built sternwheeler, 102 feet long by 24 feet beam, on the Oregon City route, in opposition to the Jennie Clark. *The Relief was built at Oregon City by a company at the head of which were Captain Cassidy and a ferryman named O'Loughlin. The various partners in the steamer could not agree as to the best manner of operating her, O'Loughlin especially being suspicious of his partners, and keeping a close watch on Purser Sturdevant, who was also a stockholder. Captain Cassidy ran the steamer in opposition to the Jennie Clark, operated by Captain Ainsworth, and the fight grew so warm that the latter quietly purchased the stock held by O'Loughlin and a man named Athey and also the few shares held by the purser, effecting all the transfers without the knowledge of the captain. When everything had beau arranged, Ainsworth walked over to the Relief and told Cassidy that in the future he could run the Relief alternate weeks with the Jennie Clark. Cassidy, in |

| Relief (tug) | Another in a series of major tug and barge accidents occurred in late February when the veteran Red Stack tug Relief grounded north of Point Partridge on Whidbey Island while towing a barge laden with about 26,000 barrels of oil during a heavy gale which was sweeping the Strait of Juan de Fuca at the time. When the weather moderated another barge was brought alongside to pump the oil from the stranded barge, after which she was refloated by three Crowley tugs. Although an oil skimmer craft owned by Marine Oil Pickup Service stood by, their was no spillage. The Relief, however, was badly holed and was abandoned to the underwriters. David S. Updike of Northwest Towing & Salvage purchased the wreck, which was refloated with the aid of Marine Service's salvage barge Mandy M. and R. T. Waterman's tug Manzanita, which he had recently acquired to supplement his tug Tillicum, which is operating between Puget Sound and Alaska. After underwater patching by divers, the Relief was refloated and towed to Updike's Seattle |
