Source conflicts

  1. Also sourced as 1880.
  2. L&D gives 95.15 net tons.
  3. 1922 Merchant List gives 49 gross, 23 registered tons.
  4. Affleck gives 878 gross and 802 net tons for the post-1907 Bailey Gatzert. These figures probably relate to when the vessel was sponsoned out circa 1918 and converted to a steam ferry for auto transport.
  5. 1901 Annual List gives Bay Centre, WA.
  6. Affleck gives Tacoma.
  7. 1901 Annual Merchant List indicates propeller-driven, length 55.6 feet (16.9 m).
  8. 1901 Annual List gives 767 registered tons.
  9. 1922 Annual List shows this vessel still registered.
  10. Another source says 60.5 feet. This vessel was rebuilt, possibly this is the reason for the distinction.
  11. Affleck gives Portland.
  12. Affleck gives 1878.
  13. 1901 Annual List gives 123 Gr 73 reg tons for this vessel.
  14. Kline gives 1908.

  16. 1901 Annual list gives 28 reg. tons.
  17. L&D gives Seattle.

  25. 1901 Annual List gives 6.0 registered tons.
  26. Newell, Ships of the Inland Sea, at page 216, gives length as 120 feet, almost certainly an error.
