General Miles : ウィキペディア英語版 | General Miles
''General Miles'' was a steamship constructed in 1882 which served in various coastal areas of the states of Oregon and Washington, as well as British Columbia and the territory of Alaska. It was apparently named after US General Nelson A. Miles. Originally a sailing schooner built in 1879, the ''General Miles'' was extensively reconstructed in 1890 and renamed ''Willapa''. In 1903 the name was changed again to ''Bellingham''. After a conversion to diesel power in 1922, the vessel was renamed ''Norco''. The vessel is notable for, among other things, for having been first a sailing vessel from 1879 to 1882, a steamship from 1882 to 1918, a sailing barge from 1919 to 1922, and a motor vessel (diesel-powered) from 1922 to 1950. ==Construction==
''General Miles'' was built in 1882 for the Ilwaco Steam Navigation Company.〔 The vessel was a rebuilt sailing schooner which had been originally built in 1879.〔 The ISN had been organized in 1875 by Lewis A. Loomis, Jacob Kamm and two others, for the purpose of developing transportation to, from, and on the Long Beach Peninsula, located on the north side of the mouth of the Columbia River. The company's first vessel was the ''General Canby'', a steam tug built in 1875 at South Bend, Washington. ISN organized steamboat routes both on Willapa Bay, on the east side of the Long Beach Peninsula, and also on the Columbia River, on the south side of the peninsula.〔 By the early 1880s, demand on the Columbia river route, which ran from Astoria, Oregon to Ilwaco, Washington, was increasing beyond the ''General Canbys legal passenger capacity, which was 75 in summer and 40 in winter. For this reason, ISN had an new steamer, the ''General Miles'', constructed in Portland, Oregon. Completed in 1882, ''General Miles'' was a near sister ship to the ''General Canby''.〔 The ''General Miles'' was capable of multiple uses, being equipped with towing bits for tugboat work as well as being designed to accommodate 125 passengers and handle 150 tons of freight.〔
