Tender History:
The Hazel was a 45-foot steam-powered, wooden-hulled launch. She was originally built to be used by the tender Madrono but was used instead for service in the 12th Lighthouse District.
She was laid up in October 1901 at the Lighthouse depot on Goat Island. She was then dismantled and sold in 1902.
