R. R. Thompson (sternwheeler)
''R. R. Thompson'' was a large sternwheel steamboat designed in the classic Columbia River style. She was named after Robert R. Thompson, one of the shareholders of the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, the firm that built the vessel.〔Corning, Howard McKinley, ''Willamette Landings - Ghost Towns of the Columbia River'', at 122, Oregon Historical Society, Portland, OR (2nd Ed. 1977)〕
==Design and construction==
Somewhat exceptionally, ''R.R. Thompson''s passenger deck as built, extended the full length of her hull, this was typical only of the very largest and most prestigious vessels on the Columbia river system, such as ''Daisy Ainsworth'', ''Bailey Gatzert'', and ''Wide West'', the later two being built by Capt. J.J. Holland (1843-1893) as was ''R.R. Thompson''.〔
She was said to be "capable of making rapid time with a big cargo" with "passenger accommodations unsurpassed by any steamer in the Northwest.":〔
''R.R. Thompson'' was launched on the middle Columbia river, that is, the reach from the top of the Cascades of the Columbia eastward to The Dalles where a second and longer stretch of rapids began. She was said to be "in every respect the equal of the ''Wide West''", another similar but more well-known steamer operating on the lower Columbia and Willamette rivers at the time. Her trial run was on September 28, 1878, under Capt. George Ainsworth and Engineer Peter De Huff. Immediately afterwards she was placed in service running between the Cascades and The Dalles.〔
