English: Snoqualmie was a wooden steamship launched at Seattle, Washington, U.S. on August 11, 1919. The vessel was named for the Snoqualmie Tribe, in honor of their peoples' friendship with pioneer settlers and their war record in service to the United States. Many tribal members traveled to Seattle and took part in the launching ceremonies.[1]
Snoqualmie was sold in 1922 to a company in Peru and renamed Presidente Leguía. The ship burned on February 6, 1924, at El Callao, Peru.[2]
