HISTORIC LANDMARK VESSEL!
The S.S. VIRGINIA V is the last operational example of a Puget Sound
Mosquito Fleet steamer. Her maiden voyage was on June 11, 1922. Her
all-wood construction and steam engine make her a National Historic
Landmark vessel.The ship served as a passenger and freight ferry serving the route
between Seattle and Tacoma along the “West Pass” (aka Colvos Passage)
between Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula between 1922-1938. She
brought thousands of Camp Fire Girls to Camp Sealth and for much of the
century she’s been a passenger excursion vessel. Presenter Ed Brown is
our Senior Docent and our resident expert on the ship’s history. Don’t
