Columbia (Arrow Lakes sternwheeler)
''Columbia'' was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Arrow Lakes in British Columbia from 1890 to 1894. ''Columbia'' should be distinguished from the many other vessels with the same or similar names, including in particular the propeller-driven steamboat '' Columbia'' that ran on the Arrow Lakes for many years.
==The Arrow Lakes route==
''Columbia'' was the fourth large sternwheeler to run on the long Arrow Lakes (and adjacent stretches of the Columbia River). Before the construction of the Keenleyside Dam in the 1960s, there were two Arrow Lakes, called the upper and lower, which were separated by a stretch of shallow water known as the Narrows. The lakes are part of the Columbia River, which flows into the upper Arrow Lake at Arrowhead, British Columbia, and begins again at the southern end of the lower lake near the towns of Robson and Castlegar. Steamers running on Arrow Lakes typically started from the railheads. In the early 1890s the northern railhead was Revelstoke about up the Columbia River from Arrowhead, where the transcontinental line of the Canadian Pacific Railway crossed the Columbia. In the south, the Great Northern Railway had reached Little Dalles, Washington by the 1890s. Rail construction was ongoing however. C.P.R. was building an extension south from Revelstoke along the east side of the Columbia River, which would eventually reach Arrowhead. By 1894 the extension had only gone as far as the town of Wigwam, about half way between Revelstoke and Arrowhead, which became the northernmost point on the route for ''Columbia''.〔〔
