The cooperative also intended to change the steamer's schedule to better fit the farmer's needs. In May 1912, the company bought the propeller steamer Crest from the Tacoma and Burton Navigation Company for $11,500. The company renamed the vessel Bay Ocean and hired Capt. Thomas Torgeson to run the vessel on a daily route between Arletta, Washington and Tacoma, stopping at ten intermediate landings along the way.[1] Notes1. ^Newell, McCurdy Marine History, at 203.
