Alice Gertrude

Alice Gertrude was a wooden steamship which operated on the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound from 1898 to January 1907, when she was wrecked at Clallam Bay in Washington.

Alice Gertrude was a freight and passenger steamship built in 1898, either at Seattle, Washington, according to one source,[1] or at Port Angeles.

The Thompsons ran steamboats to Neah Bay from Port Angeles, and Alice Gertrude was built for this route.

[2] Alice Gertrude broke up quickly and the only salvageable parts were the boiler and the engine, which were removed from the wreck by the steam cargo ship Rapid Transit.

These components belonged to the marine insurance underwriter, but PSN repurchased them and they were installed in the steam fishing vessel Independent.
