The Vessel and Her Loss

The T.W. Lake was a small wooden steam vessel of the type that once crisscrossed Puget Sound carrying passengers, mail, and freight between small communities. Records of her builder, size, and operating company are not reliably established here. She was lost somewhere on Puget Sound, though the date and cause of the loss are not firmly confirmed in the sources reviewed.
