Tahoe on August 29, 1940 off Glenbrook Bay marked the end of steamship travel on Lake Tahoe. The Tahoe had been the grandest at 168’ 9”, but others with curious names like Governor Stanford, Niagara, Meteor, Todd Goodwin, and Tallac-later named Nevada- also shared time on the Lake in the era of steam. The S.S. Tahoe was launched with much fanfare on June 24th, 1896 at Glenbrook Bay. Distinguished guests from as far away as Virginia City and San Francisco attended the much anticipate launching. She had been built and tested in San Francisco, then disassembled and loaded on freight cars, and sent by train to Carson City. There the Tahoe was loaded on wagons and hauled up the Clear Creek road, now Highway 50, to Glenbrook.. A scaf- fold was built and in October of 1895 over 50 workers began the task of reassembling the mammoth iron hulled vessel for her maiden voyage in the early summer of 1896.

    A Mini-ROV Expedition to the SS Tahoe: Citizen Scientists, Engineers, and Archaeologists Exploring the Deep—Together By Denise Jaffke and John Foster n June 2016, a team of software engineers used OpenROV (open-source remotely I operated vehicle) submersibles to explore the SS Tahoe, a submerged steamer that once shuttled passengers and mail around Lake Tahoe. The expedition was not funded or planned by California State Parks or NOAA, but it was an opportunity for both agencies to help support a new citizen exploration model. The OpenROV organizers asked the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, and Parks’ Maritime Heritage Program for advice. They designed their expedition with attention to the telepresence model that E/V Nautilus, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer, and other ships have used to engage on-shore science parties and the public during expeditions. They documented the expedition, capturing high resolution video, and engaged OpenROV Project Crew on the shore of Lake Tahoe. virtual citizen explorers online and Photo by D.

    University of Nevada Reno Naming, Remembering, and Experiencing We’ lmelt’ iʔ [northern Washoe] Cultural Spaces in Wa she shu It Deh [Washoe Land] A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology. by Natalie E. Davenport Dr. Louis Forline/Dissertation Advisor December 2019 © Natalie E. Davenport 2019 All Rights Reserved THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the dissertation prepared under our supervision by Entitled be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of , Advisor , Coadisor , Comm ittee Member , Committee Member , Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School i Abstract Few anthropological investigations have involved or characterized the northern Washoe area, and Washoe families residing in these places experienced effects of European settlement and development first, and they moved or were nudged out by the first part of the 20th century. This study highlights and maps landscapes of the northern Washoe, or We’ lmelt’ iʔ, and explores some of the ways Washoe individuals and communities are intertwined with landscapes in their homeland. Washoe engagement was pieced together from first-hand Washoe sources ranging from the 1920s to this study in 2019. Results show the activities of naming, remembering, and experiencing places in their homeland are significant factors in fostering a sense of place among contemporary Washoe individuals and communities. As a result, Washoe toponyms became a large component of the study. The naming conventions and the names show fundamental understanding of the land, and certain topographic features were consistently named. Washoe place names not only characterize places literally, but they prompt visualization of the place in a larger landscape context.
