Career
Crystal was a typical small steamer of the type that served small communities along Puget Sound. Crystal was built at Gig Harbor in 1904 for Miles Coffman. Crystal was propeller-driven, 45' long, and rated at 25 tons.[2] Captain Coffman placed Crystal on the run between Tacoma and Wollochet Bay, until she was replaced on this run by Audrey. After that, Crystal was repowered with a 50 horsepower (37 kW) gasoline engine and transferred to Port Angeles.
