Lot Whitcomb (sidewheeler)
Launched in 1850, ''Lot Whitcomb'', later known as ''Annie Abernathy'', was the first steam-powered craft built on the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon.〔 〕 She was one of the first steam-driven vessels to run on the inland waters of Oregon, and contributed to the rapid economic development of the region. She also served for many years on the Sacramento River.
==Plan for economic development==
''Lot Whitcomb'' was built at Milwaukie, Oregon, on the Willamette River. Her initial owners were S.S. White, Berryman Jennings, and Lot Whitcomb, who conceived the steamer as a way to establish Milwaukie, then engaged in rivalry with Portland and other towns along the river, as the premier city in the region. As construction continued, the original owners sold shares in the vessel to various people in the area, and some of the stock was paid for in livestock or produce, which was in turn consumed by the workmen building the vessel, whose wages were mostly in arrears. Lot Whitcomb himself had mortgaged just about everything he had to raise the funds to build the ship.〔
