Shoalwater (sidewheeler 1852)
The steamboat ''Shoalwater'' was the sixth steamer to operate on the upper Willamette River, which refers to the part of the river above Willamette Falls at Oregon City. In a short career of six years, ''Shoalwater'' was renamed ''Fenix'', ''Franklin'', and ''Minnie Holmes''. 〔Wright, E.W., ''Lewis & Dryden Marine History of the Pacific Northwest'', at 57-58, Lewis & Dryden Publishing, Portland, OR 1895〕 ''Shoalwater'' was the first steamboat in Oregon to suffer a boiler explosion, although fortunately no fatalities resulted.〔
==Construction==
''Shoalwater'' was built in 1852 by Leonard White at Canemah, a small settlement just above Willamette Falls. Her first owners were McCarver and Son, who were merchants in Oregon City.〔Corning, ''Willamette Landings'', at 63, 72, 87, 119.〕 Leonard White and others may have had ownership interests in the vessel. 〔 ''Shoalwater'' was fitted with two geared engines, of which historian Corning said "generated more noise than power".〔 ''Shoalwater'', as her name indicated, was designed to run when all other boats were compelled to lay up for lack of water on the sand and gravel bars that often blocked river navigation.〔
