Elk (sternwheeler 1857)
''Elk'' was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Willamette River beginning in 1857. The boat is chiefly remembered for its destruction by a boiler explosion in which by good fortune no one was seriously hurt. A folklore tale later arose about this disaster.
== Construction, owners, and loss ==
''Elk'' was built in 1857 at Canemah, Oregon by Capt. Chris Sweitzer (died 1860), François X. Matthieu,〔 George A. Pease, and John Marshall.〔 The boat was a small vessel intended for the Yamhill River trade.〔 Theodore Wygant was the ''Elk'' 's agent in Portland, Oregon.〔Corning, ''Willamette Landings'', at 122 and 183.〕
In November〔Marshall, ''Oregon Shipwrecks'', at 205.〕 of either 1857〔 or 1861,〔 ''Elk'' was navigating on the Willamette River, near Davidson's Landing, which was about one mile (1.6 km) below the mouth of the Yamhill River when the vessel was destroyed by a boiler explosion. Officers on board ''Elk'' at the time were George Jerome (1823–1886), captain, William Smith, engineer, and Sebastian "Bas" Miller, pilot. The entire upper works of the vessel disintegrated.〔 Although there were some injuries, no one was killed.〔
