PS Eliza Anderson
The PS ''Eliza Anderson'' operated from 1858 to 1898 mainly on Puget Sound, the Strait of Georgia, and the Fraser River but also for short periods in Alaska.〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., ''H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 14, 15, 40, 130, 265, and 369, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966〕 She was generally known as the ''Old Anderson'' and was considered slow and underpowered even for the time. Even so, it was said of her that “no steamboat ever went slower and made money faster.” She played a role in the Underground Railroad and had a desperate last voyage to Alaska as part of the Klondike Gold Rush.

''Eliza Anderson'' was launched on November 27, 1858, at Portland, Oregon for the Columbia River Steam Navigation Company. She was a sidewheeler driven by a low pressure boiler generating steam for a single cylinder walking-beam steam engine〔 She was built entirely of wood, measuring 197' long, 25.5 feet on the beam, and rated at 276 tons capacity.〔〔Newell, Gordon R., ''Ships of the Inland Sea'', at 22-27, Binford and Mort, Portland, OR (2nd Ed. 1960)〕
