City of Kingston was a steamship launched in 1884. It was built in Wilmington, Delaware. It was used on the Hudson River before a change of ownership brought it to Puget Sound.[1] The New York Times reported in December 1889 that it was heard from in "Barbadoes" after being feared lost.[2]
Its sister ship was City of Seattle, built in Philadelphia in 1890.[1]
City of Kingston collided with Glenogle on April 23, 1900 near Tacoma, Washington and sunk. The loss was calculated to be $150,000. There were no deaths. Glenogle survived with $20,000 in damage.[3]
