The steamboat L.T. Haas was a vessel that operated on Lake Washington in the first part of the 20th century.
L.T. Haas was built in 1902 [1] by G.V. Johnson, who owned an early shipyard on Lake Washington. [2]
L.T. Haas, rated at 89 tons, was originally operated by Harry Cade and the Carlson Brothers, who, doing business as the Interlaken Steamship Company, ran her on the Leschi Park-Meydenhauer Bay route. Later Captain John Anderson of Anderson Steamboat Co. acquired L.T. Haas when he merged the Interlaken concern into his own company. [3] L.T. Haas was destroyed by fire in 1909 while on the lake. [4]

Willapa Bay is a large shallow body of water near the Pacific Ocean in southwestern Washington.

Lake Washington steamboats and ferries operated from about 1875 to 1951, transporting passengers, vehicles and freight across Lake Washington, a large lake to the east of Seattle, Washington. Before modern highways and bridges were built, the only means of crossing the lake, other than the traditional canoe or rowboat, was by steamboat, and, later, by ferry. While there was no easily navigable connection to Puget Sound, the Lake Washington Ship Canal now connects Lake Washington to Lake Union, and from there Puget Sound is reached by way of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks.
