Otter (sternwheeler)
''Otter'' was a wooden sternwheel steamboat that was used in Puget Sound and briefly on the Columbia and Stikine rivers from 1874 to 1897. Columbia River service ''Otter'' was built in Portland, Oregon, in 1874 by Fred Congdon. Congdon reused the machinery that had previously been installed in the '' Mary Belle'', which he had dismantled and traded to G.W. Hume for use as a wharf. Congdon made the trial trip of the ''Otter'' on March 28, 1874. He intended to run the ''Otter'' on the lower Columbia River, in connection with business allies who had built the ''Teaser'' to run on the middle Columbia, above the Cascades Rapids. Although both ''Otter'' and ''Teaser'' were both too small to be very competitive, this plan still was perceived by the Oregon Steam Navigation Company to be threat to the monopoly which they were seeking to maintain on Columbia River transportation, and so they purchased both ''Otter'' and ''Teaser'', and arranged to have them sent to Puget Sound in 18 ...

Steamboats Of Washington (state)
A steamboat is a boat that is propelled primarily by steam power, typically driving propellers or paddlewheels. Steamboats sometimes use the prefix designation SS, S.S. or S/S (for 'Screw Steamer') or PS (for 'Paddle Steamer'); however, these designations are most often used for steamships. The term ''steamboat'' is used to refer to smaller, insular, steam-powered boats working on lakes and rivers, particularly riverboats. As using steam became more reliable, steam power became applied to larger, ocean-going vessels. Background Limitations of the Newcomen steam engine Early steamboat designs used Newcomen steam engines. These engines were large, heavy, and produced little power, which resulted in an unfavorable power-to-weight ratio. The Newcomen engine also produced a reciprocating or rocking motion because it was designed for pumping. The piston stroke was caused by a water jet in the steam-filled cylinder, which condensed the steam, creating a vacuum, which in turn caused ...
