Governor Grover (sternwheeler)
''Governor Grover'' was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Willamette River during the 1870s. Because of the completion of the Willamette Locks in late 1872, it was possible for vessels such as ''Governor Grover'' to be built in Portland, Oregon and then readily navigate the Willamette above Willamette Falls.
== Construction ==
''Governor Grover'' was built in 1873 for the Willamette River Navigation Company〔Sometimes this company is seen referred to as the "Willamette River Transportation Company", for example, in Wright, ed., ''Lewis & Dryden Marine History'', at 206.〕 which had been formed to compete with the monopoly on the river that was then held by the People's Transportation Company, which by 1873 had come under the control of steamboat and stagecoach magnate Ben Holladay. Among the backers of the Willamette River Navigation Company were the important businessman Bernard Goldsmith and the steamboat men Joseph Kamm and Joseph Kellogg, with the latter supervising construction of the ''Grover''.〔〔Wright, E.W., ed., ''Lewis & Dryden Marine History'', at 23, 205.〕 ''Grover'' was named after La Fayette Grover (1823-1911) fourth governor of the state of Oregon (1870-1877). Other vessels built by the Willamette River Navigation Company included the sternwheelers ''Vancouver'' (1870), ''Beaver'' (1873), and ''Willamette Chief'' (1874).
