History
The S. L. Dowell is a 45-foot wooden tugboat that was built at Friday Harbor in 1899 as the steamer Griffin. In 1912, the tug was fitted with a 50-horsepower Corliss gas engine. The S. L. Dowell struck a snag off Mercer Island in Lake Washington on October 11, 1922 and sank immediately in 200 feet of water. George Wahl, master, and William Holslar, engineer, leaped to a gravel scow the tug was towing and narrowly escaped drowning.Dive Reports:
