Ocean Wave (sidewheeler)
''Ocean Wave'' was a steamboat that was operated from 1891 to 1897 on the Columbia River, from 1897 to 1899 on Puget Sound and from 1899 to 1911 as a ferry on San Francisco Bay. Ocean Wave is perhaps best known for transporting summer vacationers from Portland, Oregon to seaside resorts near Ilwaco, Washington during its service on the Columbia River. This vessel is also known for being the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway.
==Construction==
''Ocean Wave'' was built at Portland, Oregon by J.H. Steffen for the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company. ''Ocean Wave'' was a side-wheeler type of steamboat, designed by Jacob Kamm, a wealthy business man who had extensive experience in steamboats.〔
In early July 3, 1891, Jacob Kamm and his son, Charles T. Kamm, were rushing to complete the work on the new steamer, in an effort to have the vessel running by July 15, 1891, as the low water in the river could prevent the river steamer then on the route, the ''T.J. Potter'', from making the scheduled time to Ilwaco.〔〕 On July 15, 1891, it was reported that ''Ocean Wave'' had been launched, that the boat had cost $70,000 to construct, and that it bore a “striking resemblance to the ''T.J. Potter''”〔〕 The new steamer would make connections with the Ilwaco trains and probably would be run in opposition to the Union Pacific’s boat on the Portland-Ilwaco route.〔
