67 foot steam cannery tender Beatrice Baer

She was built by Will A. Loman in Anacortes in 1912 and was sold to Pacific American Fisheries in 1917. She had a compound steam engine and burned crude oil. In this photo nine men, likely cannery workers, stand on her decks. Dark smoke blows from her stack as she cuts through the water. An American flag flies from the stern; a flag with six rows of eight stars is in her bow. Heavily forested hills are in the background. Eventually she was sold to Gilkey Brothers Towing Company.
