English: The steam tanker Geo H. Jones and tugboat Equator, coming east through the Montlake Cut, Seattle, Washington, October 17, 1934. Montlake Bridge opened to let it through. The Geo H. Jones was sunk by German submarine U-455 on June 11, 1942. The Equator had a rather illustrious history of its own: it was built in 1888 as a pygmy schooner, carried Robert Louis Stevenson and Fanny Vandegrift Stevenson through the islands of Micronesia in 1889, was converted to steam in 1897, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, though all that remains of it as of 2020 is a hull in poor shape in Everett, Washington.
