The Incredible Tragic Story of the SS Clallam

In 1904, the Puget Sound Navigation Company's SS Clallam, a small wooden-hulled long-haul ferry, began taking on water in a storm. While she should have been able to survive the situation, a series of missteps by her Captain and Chief Engineer sealed her fate. The situation turned deadly when the panicked Captain ordered the women and children into the lifeboats. The Clallam tragedy would hang over the area for decades with deadly ramifications.
