Willamette Chief
''Willamette Chief'' was a sternwheel steamboat built in 1874 for the Willamette River Navigation Company.
==Design and construction==
The builders of ''Willamette Chief'' intended her to run from Astoria, Oregon to the headwaters of the Willamette break the monopoly on Willamette steam navigation traffic that had been achieved by the People's Transportation Company. Under the name of the Astoria Farmers' Wharf Company, some of stockholders of the Willamette River Transportation Company had built a wharf in Astoria to allow ready transfer of wheat and other farm products to ocean-going ships, and Willamette Chief was going to be the inland transportation link in this chain of commerce they had envisioned. She was considered to be strongly built and a good cargo hauler, with a shallow draft to allow her to work as far inland as possible.〔
