PS Eliza Anderson
The PS Eliza Anderson operated from 1858 to 1898 mainly on Puget Sound, the Strait of Georgia, and the Fraser River but also for short periods in Alaska. She was generally known as the Old Anderson and was considered slow and underpowered even for the time. Even so, it was said of her that “no steamboat ever went slower and made money faster.” She played a role in the Underground Railroad and had a desperate last voyage to Alaska as part of the Klondike Gold Rush.
