Career
Domingo Marcucci built the Cyrus Walker at San Francisco, California at his Steamboat Point shipyard in 1864, for Pope & Talbot. She was 120 foot long side-wheel steamboat, with a 28-foot beam and an 8-foot hold. She was equipped with two high-pressure steam engines and a surface condenser. George W Bullene, who put machinery in her at the Pacific Iron Works, then took her up to Puget Sound for towing logs for the Pope & Talbot lumber mill on Puget Sound.[1] :127
Captain Bullene delivered Cyrus Walker to Port Gamble, Puget Sound in October, 1864. It was active at least as late as 1893.[2]

gollark: Well, yes, I rewrote my software to track those.
gollark: Anonymized GPS may have removed anavrins' ability to locate random turtles, and also only exist because of me finding out about that probably quite a while after him and writing a proof of concept global tracking system, but is probably good for CC privacy.
