Carrie Ladd
The ''Carrie Ladd'' was an important early steamboat on the lower Columbia and lower Willamette rivers. The vessel established the basic design of the Columbia River steamboat, which was later used throughout the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, Alaska, and the Yukon.
==Design, Ownership and Construction==
''Carrie Ladd'' was one of the first steamboats of the Columbia River type. Unlike most other early steamboats ''Carrie Ladd'' was built from scratch, rather from discarded hulls, works, or machinery of previous vessels. The vessel was not particularly large, but had powerful engines, and was probably the best of the steamboats built in Oregon in the 1850s.〔Mills, Randall V., ''Sternwheelers up the Columbia -- A Century of Steamboating in the Oregon Country'', at 39-41, 46, 69, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE (1977 reprint of 1947 edition) ISBN 0-8032-5874-7〕 John T. Thomas built ''Carrie Ladd'' for Jacob Kamm, Capt. John C. Ainsworth and other co-owners. The vessel was named the Carrie Ladd in honor of the daughter of an early Portland banker who helped arrange the financing for the Oregon Steam Navigation Company which later held a monopoly on steam navigation on the Columbia River.〔
''Carrie Ladd'' was launched at Oregon City in October, 1858. The vessel was fitted up in what was considered to be first-class style for the day. The design of the ''Carrie Ladd'', together with that of the vessel 's predecessor ''Jennie Clark'' established the elements of the Columbia River steamer.〔 The basic elements of the Columbia River steamer, as established by ''Carrie Ladd'' were described by Professor Mills:
