From a Website about Steamer
The ST. LOUIS was an 11,629 gross top ship built by W. Cramp and Sons, Philadelphia in 1894 for the American Line. Her sister ship was the St. Paul. Her details were - length 535.5ft x beam 63ft., straight stem, two funnels, two masts, twin screw and a speed of 19 knots. There was accomodations for 350 first, 220 second , and 800 third class passengers. Launched on November 12, 1894, she sailed from New York on her maiden voyage to Southampton on June 5, 1895. She started her last Southampton - New York crossing on April 16, 1898 before being used as an auxiliary cruiser for use in the Spanish-American war. On October 12, 1898 she resumed New York - Southampton sailings and in 1903 was fitted with new boilers and had her funnels heightened. In 1913 she was refitted to carry 2nd and 3rd class passengers only and on July 15, 1914 sailed on her last Southampton - Cherbourg - Queenstown - New York voyage. She was transferred to the New York - Liverpool service on July 31, 1914 until April 1918 when she commenced her last Liverpool - New York crossing. She then became the U. S. government ship Louisville. On January 1, 1920 she was damaged by fire while being refitted for the New York - Southampton service, and was sold as an exhibition ship but not used as such. On May 20, 1924 she left New York under tow for Genoa where she was scrapped.
About Golf Course from website.
Foster Golf Links occupies a unique site adjacent to the meandering Duwamish River, which surrounds 65% of the course. The 18 hole golf course plays just less than 5,000 yards, with one par 5 for men, two for women, and five par 3�s, two of which cross the river. Foster is recognized as a rewarding and fun course that is easy to walk and a challenge to the average golfer. Many players fondly remember Foster as the course where they recorded their best tournament score.
The course was designed and built by George Eddy and opened for play in the spring of 1925. Foster has operated as a family business until 1977 when the citizens of Tukwila purchased the course with General Obligation Bonds and Councilmatic Bonds. Foster continues to be known by its patrons as a small town community golf course, even though it is in the heart of the Greater Seattle Area.
