Teaser (steamer)

The Teaser, like her companion, was too small to be of much use, but succeeded in making the Oregon Steam Navigation Company purchase her at a good advance on her cost. She was constructed at The Dalles, and was sixty-nine feet long, thirteen feet beam, and eight feet hold, with engines eight by eighteen inches. Capt. H. T. Coe was in command during her brief career on the middle river, and in 1875 she was taken over the Cascades by Capt. J. W. Brazee, Engineer Carroll, and Fireman Stevenson. Having no use for her on the river, the Oregon Steam Navigation Company sold her to Capt. J. C. Brittain of Seattle, who ran her until 1879, when she sank. After being raised the following year, her machinery was removed, and she was rigged as a schooner. She is still sailing on the waters of the Northwest, engaged at the present time in the sealing business. E. W.
