Construction and career

[edit]

Typhoon, c. 1889

Dove was originally built in 1889 in Portland, Oregon for ferry service under J. B. Montgomery, and launched under the name Typhoon. In 1891, J. B. Montgomery sold Typhoon to George Emerson at Grays Harbor, who in turn sold the vessel a short time later to C. O. Lorenz, who brought her to Puget Sound and placed her on the Tacoma–Henderson Bay route. In 1903, she was acquired by Matthew McDowell, who rebuilt the vessel and placed her on the Seattle–Tacoma–East Pass route under the name Dove.

Around 1916, McDowell sold Dove to Washington Tug & Barge Co. of Seattle, and Dove thereafter served as a tug.[2]
