John McNulty (steamboat captain)
John McNulty (fl. c. 1860) was a pioneer Columbia River steamboat captain.
==Career==
John McNulty was born in Dublin, Ireland on March 21, 1830. He went to sea as a boy. After years of sailing the seas of the World, John McNulty landed in Portland, Oregon in 1852. Almost immediately upon his arrival, he began steamboating the Pacific Northwest’s rivers on the ''Fashion''. From its founding in 1860, John McNulty was a steamboat captain for the Oregon Steam Navigation Company and for the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company. For some 3 decades, Capt. McNulty was entrusted with the companies’ steamboat runs on the treacherous middle river of the Columbia. There, then, the Columbia River’s two most significant and dangerous rapids, the Cascades and The Dalles, followed one upon the other. Capt. McNulty was the first master of the ''R.R. Thompson'' on the middle river, and the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, near, continuously, entrusted its ''Idaho'' to Capt. McNulty's able command during its term on the middle river. It has been said that the U.S. state of Idaho, itself, was named for this formidable draft.〔C. Schwantes, ''The Pacific Northwest'', c 1996 University of Nebraska, Lincoln, p 186 ISBN 0-8032-9228-7〕 In addition to the preceding biographical data for Captain McNulty there on same page noted, it is also said of Capt. McNulty in the ''Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'' that “His career has been exceedingly fortunate and free of accidents.”〔''Lewis and Dryden's Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', E.W. Wright, ed., © 1895 Lewis and Dryden Printing Co., p. 93 (including importantly footnotes thereof), available on demand historically replicated in reprint as ISBN 9785884013193〕
