Making the "Steam Ship Spartan" an ideal choice, financially feasible option, with local ship yard retrofitting the ship for its new mission for the Seattle-Alaska Trade Route. However, it should not be taken as an "Only Option" toward select of a suitable vessel. Thereby, this proposal to use SS Spartan is to open a viable dialog, to toward development of such a services.
