ALL IN VG CONDITION, PEN MARK ON MARGIN OF ONE OF THE PHOTOS.By 1893, the boiler that powered the Annie Faxon was beginning to show its age. It was actually older than the vessel, having been used for several years on another steamer, the John Gates, before being installed on the Annie Faxon. In the spring or early summer of 1893 an inspector condemned the Annie Faxons boiler. He allowed the steamer to continue making its runs for the year, but ordered the boiler replaced when the Annie Faxon tied up for the winter at the end of the season. Unfortunately, the boiler did not last that long. At dawn on Monday morning, August 14, 1893, the Annie Faxonleft Lewiston on her daily run to Riparia. The steamer stopped in Almota, a small town on the northern shore of the Snake River in Whitman County about five miles northwest of where Lower Granite Dam is today (2006). Then she resumed her run to Riparia. As the steamer neared Wades Bar, about 12 miles west of Almota, a man on the southern shore hailed the captain, saying he wanted to ship some peaches on the steamer. Captain Harry Baughman, from his perch in the pilothouse, steered the vessel toward shore. At the approach, Baughman rang for the engines to stop for a landing. Almost simultaneously, the boiler exploded on the lower deck. The force of steam from the explosion buckled the vessel first in and then out, causing the cabins and pilothouse, which were located above the boiler, to collapse. Baughman watched in horror as flying wreckage decapitated a man who was with him in the pilothouse. The Calamity Sage Aiken, the first assistant engineer, described what he saw: "The chief engineer had just turned on the steam . I was standing in front of the first cabin when the explosion occurred . I was struck by the steam and blown straight up in the air about 20 feet and came down, lighting on my feet just in front of the boiler . I saw Thomas McIntosh [one of the fatalities], he was lying in the middle of the boat, his feet upward, and the wreckage of the pilot house lying on his body . Life was extinct. His head was badly bruised and the lower part of his body and limbs crushed almost to a jelly" (Shaver). Aiken added that the boiler was 29 feet long and 6 feet in diameter, and was allowed to carry 125 pounds of stea. Na (illustratore). Book.
