Olympian (sidewheeler)
The steamship ''Olympian'' operated from 1884 to about 1890 on the Columbia River, Puget Sound, and the Inside Passage of British Columbia and Alaska. ''Olympian'' and her near-sistership ''Alaskan'' were known as “Henry Villard’s White Elephants.”〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 43, 128, 214-15, 392, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966 ISBN 0-87564-220-9〕 ''Olympian'' the large iron sidewheeler should not be confused with ''Olympian'' (ex ''Telegraph'') a wooden sternwheeler, which also served on Puget Sound and was one of the last commercial freight steamboats operating on the Columbia River.〔McCurdy, at 308, 324, giving later history of ''Olympian'' (ex ''Telegraph'')〕〔Mills, Randall V., ''Sternwheelers Up Columbia'', at 139-40, 152, 163, 199, University of Nebraska Press (1977 reprint of 1947 edition) ISBN 0-8032-5874-7〕

''Olympian'' was built in 1883, at Wilmington, Delaware by Harlan and Hollingsworth. She was a sidewheeler driven by a single cylinder vertical condensing walking-beam steam engine, which gave her high speed.〔Newell, Gordon R., ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 92 and 95, Binford and Mort, Portland, OR (2nd Ed. 1960)〕 Her iron hull was long, 73' in beam over the paddle guards, and rated at 1419 tons. She was built primarily for service on Puget Sound, as her draft of 8' feet meant she needed too much water to be of much use on most of the Columbia other than the lower river from Portland to Astoria.〔 Mills described her as follows:
