Dove (steamboat) was a 196-ton, 93-foot-long propeller-driven steamboat built in 1889 in Portland, Oregon. It began life as Typhoon and operated on Puget Sound Mosquito Fleet routes and also on Grays Harbor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1891 it was sold to George Emerson at Grays Harbor, then soon after to C. O. Lorenz, who brought her to Puget Sound for the Tacoma–Henderson Bay route. In 1903 Matthew McDowell bought and rebuilt the vessel, renaming it Dove and placing her on the Seattle–Tacoma–East Pass route. Around 1916 McDowell sold Dove to the Washington Tug & Barge Co. of Seattle, after which she served as a tug. The final fate of Dove is uncertain.
