Biographical History

The SS Nevada was an American steamship owned by millionaire lumber baron Duane L. Bliss which operated on Lake Tahoe. The 60-foot luxury vessel was lanched in 1890. After catching fire in 1892 the vessel was repaired and renamed the SS Tallac; it carried passengers, freight and mail on Lake Tahoe until the late 1930s. In 1940, Bliss had the aging vessel towed to the center of the lake and burned.
