Career
Fairhaven was built in 1889 by John J. Holland for the Pacific Navigation Company in his shipyard at Tacoma, Washington. The vessel was placed on the run from Seattle to Bellingham, Washington, by way of Whidbey Island and the town of La Conner, Washington. On November 3, 1911, Fairhaven sank at the mooring in Seattle. The vessel was raised, but was destroyed by fire in 1918.
