Onward (sternwheeler 1858)
''Onward'' was an early steamboat on the Willamette River built at Canemah, Oregon in 1858. This vessel should not be confused other steamboats named ''Onward'', including in particular the ''Onward'' of 1867, a similar but somewhat smaller vessel built at Tualatin Landing, which operated on the Tualatin River under Capt. Joseph Kellogg.〔〔〔Timmen, Fritz, ''Blow for the Landing -- A Hundred Years of Steam Navigation on the Waters of the West'', at 89-90, Caxton Printers, Caldwell, ID 1973 ISBN 0-87004-221-1〕
==Design, construction and ownership==
''Onward'' was the successor of the ''Enterprise'' in Capt. Archibald Jamieson's line of steamers. She was built at Canemah with the proceeds from the sale of the ''Enterprise'' to Capt. Tom Wright, and was intended to compete with the ''Surprise'', which had preceded her a few months. Jamieson ran her until 1860, when he sold her to Jacob Kamm, Josiah Myrick, James Strang, and George A. Pease. With Pease in command, ''Onward'' proved a money-maker from the start, paying $i4,000 in dividends the first year. Kamm and Myrick were both shareholders in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company and it was at this time that the steamer came under the control of that powerful combination. Pease ran her until about 1863, when the boat was transferred to the People's Transportation Company and Capt. George Jerome took command. She was a serviceable boat and was considered to be very well powered, with large engines and a new style locomotive boiler.〔(Wright, E.W., ed., ''Lewis & Dryden Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 75-76 and 91, Lewis & Dryden Printing Co., Portland, OR 1895 )〕
