The steamboat Urania was a vessel that operated on Lake Washington and Puget Sound in the first part of the 20th century.

Urania had a regular run from Madison Park to Kirkland and Juanita, completing seven round-trips per day.

[7] She was also chartered for all kinds of special events including conventions,[8] company parties,[9] and as a viewing platform for crew races on Lake Washington.

[12] On December 20, 1913, passenger John White committed suicide by jumping into Lake Washington from Urania's stern.

[15] Urania's machinery was removed and she was rebuilt as a smaller vessel, maintaining both her name and Federal registration number.

[16] By June 1915, she was back on Lake Washington as part of the Anderson Steamboat Company fleet.

The boarding passengers moved to one side to let the arrivals off, and this weight shift caused the boat to list and then submerge.

In 2002, divers of the Submerged Cultural Resources Exploration Team (“SCRET”) found a wreck they concluded was Urania, noting that she lies upright on the bottom, her hull substantially intact, but her upper works completely destroyed by fire.
