TheAlamedawas an iron-hulled passenger liner that was built in 1883 byWilliam Cramp & SonsatPhiladelphiafor the Oceanic Steamship Company. After the ship was completed in July 1883, eighteen-year-old Maggie Cramp, daughter of Joseph Cramp, played the piano at a reception; while disembarking, she slipped on the gangplank and drowned.

TheAlaska Steamship Companybought her in 1910.

After the United States enteredWorld War Iin 1917, the U.S. Navy\'s13th Naval Districtinspected her for possible naval service, and she was registered accordingly with theNaval Registry Identification Number(ID. No.) 1432; however, the Navy appears never to have acquired orcommissionedher.
