''Kulshan'' was a steamship which operated on Puget Sound from 1910 until 1929. When built, ''Kulshan'' was one of a newer type of inland steamships constructed entirely of steel, and was then considered one of the finest vessels ever to operate on Puget Sound. Nomenclature "Kulshan" was one of the names of Mount Baker in the Lummi language. Design and construction ''Kulshan'' was built at the The Moran Company, Moran Company shipyard in Seattle, Washington and was intended for the Seattle-Bellingham service of the Puget Sound Navigation Company. Built entirely of steel, ''Kulshan'' was rated at 926 tons, with dimensions of long, beam, and depth of hold.Newell, ed., ''McCurdy Marine History'', at 172, 184, 406, 414, 466, and 593.

Kulshan Steamship Circa 1912
Mount Baker (Lummi dialect, Lummi: '; nok, Kw’eq Smaenit or '), also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a active volcano, active glacier-covered andesite, andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanoes, Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington (state), Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. About due east of the city of Bellingham, Washington, Bellingham, Whatcom County, Washington, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current volcanic cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation. After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, is great ...
