| Contextual Notes | The DEFIANCE was built at Hoquiam, Washington in 1897 by Peter Matthews. Weighing 604 tons, 179.8 feet long, and 37.7 feet by 13.7 feet, the DEFIANCE was the largest sailing vessel built in the Pacific Northwest that year. She was built for the E.K. Wood Lumber Company, and was initially commanded by Captain Blum (p. 21). She burned in 1922 while loading copra in the Solomon Islands while under the command of Captain Clark. He and all his crew reached shore safely (p. 330). Notes from Gordon Newell, ed., The H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle: Superior Publishing Co, 1966). |
