Star of Oregon (ship)
The ''Star of Oregon'' was a schooner sailing vessel of the mid-19th century used on the west coast of North America. It was the first American sailing ship built in what is now the U.S. state of Oregon. Pioneer settlers built the ship from 1840 to 1842 in order to sail it to California and exchange it for livestock. During World War II a Liberty ship was named the SS ''Star of Oregon'' in honor of the 19th century sailing vessel.

The ''Star'' was a small Baltimore clipper schooner, a highly maneuverable vessel with a shallow draft that Gale would have been familiar with as a boy living on the Chesapeake Bay.
Gale provided a detailed description of the ''Star'' in a letter to James W. Nesmith:
