Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet

Aloha

Aloha was typical of many motor freighters of her day. She was equipped with a Barlow freight elevator, named for its Bainbridge Island inventor. A platform could be raised or lowered with freight between the upright stanchions to adjust for the extreme tide levels of Puget Sound and Hood Canal. The Aloha carried freight on her lower level.
