Oregona (steamer)

The stern-wheel steamer Oregona of the Oregon City Transportation Company's Yellow Stack fleet collided with the river barge Champoeg 12 miles above Portland on the Willamette River on the night of December 26. A hole was stove in the steamer's hull and she sank, her upper deck being a foot below the surface of the river. The passengers and crew were taken off without loss of life and, with the aid of the crew of the Grahamona of the same company, most of the freight was salvaged. The Oregona was later refloated and repaired. The barge was at anchor when the collision occurred. Gordon Newell, Maritime Events of 1913, H.W.
