Snagboat Heritage Center
"The W.T. Preston was the last sternwheeler to work in Puget Sound and is one of only two snagboats remaining in the contiguous United States. Her crews removed navigational hazards from the bays and harbors of the Sound and from its tributary rivers.
The W.T. Preston operated as far north as Blaine and south to Olympia and Shelton. She worked 11 months out of the year, retrieving thousands of snags, piles, floats and other debris, including a damaged airplane, fish boats, derelict scows, and houseboats. In addition to her snagging chores, she was used as a pile driver and icebreaker, and dredged about 3500 cubic yards of material in an average year.
In 1981, the Army Corps of Enineers retired her from duty and solicited proposals to preserve the snagboat.
The Corps transferred title to Anacortes in March 1983.
After being towed to Anacortes, the Preston was taken out of the water and on June 22, 1983, hauled overland to her new resting site."
