Columbia (sidewheeler 1850)
The ''Columbia'' was a steamboat built at Astoria, Oregon in 1850. Columbia was the first steamboat built in the Oregon Territory, and the first to establish regular service on the lower Columbia and Willamette rivers. This vessel should not be confused with the many other craft with the same or a similar name, including in particular at least four other vessels named ''Columbia'' which ran on the Columbia river or its tributaries.
