Otter (sternwheeler) : ウィキペディア英語版 | 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 1875.〔〔''McCurdy Marine History'', p. 25.〕〔
