History Pub - Steamship Virginia V: Last of the Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet

McMenamins and the Bothell Historical Society present a History Pub program in Haynes’ Hall at McMenamins Anderson School featuring historian Ed Brown. The talk looks back to a time before highways and cars, when small passenger steamers were the primary way to travel around Puget Sound.

Brown traces the story of the SS Virginia V, the last surviving passenger steamboat of the Mosquito Fleet, and places it within the broader maritime history of the region. He draws on his role as head docent of the Steamer Virginia V Foundation and his experience as a lead deckhand and tour guide aboard the ship. Admission is $5 and all ages are welcome.

Seating and supplies are prepared according to the number of tickets purchased, so every person in a group should have a reserved seat.
