King and Winge Shipbuilding Company

The King and Winge Shipbuilding Company was an important maritime concern in the early 1900s on Puget Sound.

King was born in Boston and learned to build ships under the famous Donald McKay.

[2] In 1909, the steam tug Elk was wrecked at Restoration Point but was salvaged and towed to King and Winge for repairs.

She was salved sufficiently to be returned to Seattle in 1912 to the King and Winge shipyard, where she was rebuilt and refitted with a Union gasoline engine.

The Tom & Al, 65' long, was built in 1900 and was still in operation as late as 1962 as a dragger and whaler under Eben and Frank Parker of Astoria, Oregon.
