Steamer Virginia V Foundation, based in Seattle, Washington, preserves a historic wooden-hull steamer that was built in 1922 on Puget Sound. The vessel remains equipped with a fully operational steam engine that is more than a century old, making it a tangible link to early 20th-century maritime technology. Its setting—Puget Sound and Seattle’s inland lakes—provides a historical backdrop for gatherings and events that seek a maritime heritage experience. It is used as a venue for various occasions, leveraging its historic character. The organization operates in the hospitality sector and is a relatively small entity focused on preserving and presenting the Virginia V as a regional maritime heritage asset, and in August 2019 it announced a leadership transition with its Executive Director departing to join the Port Townsend School of Woodworking.
