Elwood (sternwheeler)
''Elwood'' was a sternwheel steamboat which was built to operate on the Willamette River, in Oregon, but which later operated on the Lewis River in Washington, the Stikine River in Canada, and on Puget Sound. The name of this vessel is sometimes seen spelled "Ellwood". ''Elwood'' is probably best known for an incident in 1893, when it was approaching the Madison Street Bridge over the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The bridge swung open to allow the steamer to pass. However, a streetcar coming in from the east end of the bridge failed to notice the bridge was open, and ran off into the river in the Madison Street Bridge disaster.
==Construction==
''Elwood'' was built in 1891 at Portland, Oregon by Johnston & Oleson, for the concern of Jason Eldridge and the three brothers Guy V. Abernethy, Charles H. Abernethy, and George Abernethy, of Champoeg, Oregon.〔 Another source gives the builder as Joseph Pacquart.〔 The Abernethy brothers were descendants of George Abernethy (c1807-1877), provisional governor of Oregon.〔
The owners placed ''Elwood'' on the Willamette River, operating first with Capt. J.L. Smith, who was followed by Capt. R. Young and then by Captain James Lee, who as of 1895 had been in charge of the vessel for about 3 years.〔
''Elwood'' was intended to operate in opposition to the O.R.&N., and another line, the Oregon Pacific.〔〔A non-contemporaneous source states that ''Elwood'' was built for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company (O.R. & N). . However, based on contemporaneous sources, it appears that ''Elwood'' was built to compete against the O.R.&N.〕
