Virgina V.

The fifth vessel in a line of steamers for the West Pass Transportation Company, “V-5” was built at Maplewood. She was installed with the engine of her predecessor, the Virginia IV. Originally working between Seattle and Tacoma, she served Colvos passage on the west side of Vashon Island, visiting the communities of Olalla, Clam Cove, and Maplewood until 1938. 

In 1976 she was acquired by the nonprofit Steamer Virginia V Foundation, and in 1995 began a major restoration. Re-launched in 2002 with her rebuilt engine and a new boiler, she holds the distinct position of the last surviving steam-powered veteran of the Mosquito Fleet.
