TOURIST #3 1931

	Another photograph from Cliff West shows the Tourist #3 at work on the Columbia.  She would later end her days in Alaska.
Constructed in 1931, the Tourist #3 had a wooden hull, and measured  108.6' long by 37.5' and a 10.3' dept.    She was 233 tons, powered by a 475 HP Washington ESTEP Diesel engine.    She had a capacity of 28 cars and 280 passengers.       From December thru March, she  made 10 trips per day across the river.   She was sold in 1966 for use as a crab cannery in Alaska named the Princess Roxane. A photo of the ferry as the Princess Roxane can be found HERE. A good history of the ferry can be found here. The coast Guard has no record of the Princess Roxane, and given it has been some 40 years since she went to Alaska the vessel has likely been scrapped.  Any info on the final dispositon of the ferry would be greatly appreciated!
