The S.S. Spokane was built at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco in 1902 for the Pacific Coast Steamship Co. She was designed specifically for the growing Alaskan tourist excursion trade. The Spokane was fitted out to carry 171 first-class passengers, generally tourists, and 100 passengers in steerage, used for cannery worker transportation. On June 29, 1911, the Spokane struck an uncharted rock in Seymour Narrows, Alaska, partially sinking and drowning one passenger. The Spokane was later refloated by the British Columbia Salvage Co.
