Henry Bailey was a sternwheel steamboat that operated on Puget Sound from 1888 to 1910. The vessel was named after Henry Bailey, a steamboat captain in the 1870s who lived in Ballard, Washington.[1]
Henry Bailey was built at Tacoma, Washington as the first vessel for the Pacific Navigation Company.[1] The vessel was placed on a route which ran from Seattle to Snohomish, via Edmonds, Marysville, Mukilteo, Lowell.[2] At some point in the 1890s the name of the vessel was later changed to City of Champaigne.[2][3] In 1898, at West Seattle, the upper works and the machinery were removed and reinstalled in a new vessel, the Skagit Queen.[3]
