W.T. Preston Steamboat, Anacortes, WA
Built in 1929 to replace the Swinomish, the W.T. Preston Steamboat served as one of Washington's most famous sternwheelers until 1981. Responsible for clearing the waters of log-jammed rivers, the W.T. Preston enabled the Puget Sound's tributaries to be navigated for business and traveling purposes. Now recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the Preston is maintained by the Anacortes Museum, and is shown to the public between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. This display allows visitors to recognize the importance of the pioneering vessel, and appreciate the State's heritage.
