Career

Captain O.D. Treiber designed Storm King for Clallam County's ferry route on Lake Crescent, Washington.
Storm King was named after a mountain overlooking the lake. Storm King was driven by sidewheels.. On deck, the vessel was 112' long and measured 31.5' on the beam across the sidewheels. Storm King, powered by a Fairbanks-Morse engine, was probably the largest vessel ever on Lake Crescent. The ferry had a capacity of 21 automobiles and 150 people.
Ferry traffic on Lake Crescent ended in 1922 with the completion of the Olympic Highway along the south side of the lake.
