Steamboats of Willapa Bay : ウィキペディア英語版 | Steamboats of Willapa Bay Willapa Bay is a large shallow body of water near the Pacific Ocean in southwestern Washington. For a number of years before modern roads were built in Pacific County, Washington, the bay was used as the means of travel around the county, by powered and unpowered craft. This article discusses steamboat navigation on Willapa Bay. ==Operations==
In 1858, Capt. James H. Whitcomb, a pioneer of the Oregon Territory, obtained a contract to carry mail from Willapa, Washington, a small settlement upstream from modern-day Raymond, where he had a donation land claim, across the Willapa Bay to Oysterville. He ran passengers, freight and mail on the route with the sloops ''Minerva'' and ''Pet'', and later the steamboat ''Favorite''. Later, he commanded the steamers ''Montesano'' and ''Tom Morris'' on Willapa Bay. His son, James P. Whitcomb, built ''Mountain Buck'' at Naselle in 1888, which was placed in towing service under his father's command.〔Newell, Gordon R., ed., H.W. ''McCurdy Marine History of Pacific Northwest'', at page 73, Superior Publishing, Seattle, WA 1966〕 Another main route was from South Bend, Washington to Nahcotta, Washington, on the Long Beach Peninsula. At Nahcotta, the propeller steamers ''Shamrock'' and ''Reliable'' would meet the train at the end of the Nahcotta dock, and pick up passengers bound for South Bend across Willapa Bay.〔Faber, Jim, ''Steamer's Wake'', pages 82-83 (including large photograph of ''Shamrock''), Enetai Press, Seattle, WA (1985) ISBN 0-9615811-0-7〕〔Newell, Gordon, and Williamson, Joe, ''Pacific Steamboats'', page 192 (with photo of ''Reliable''), Bonanza Books, New York, NY (1963)〕 In 1896, another steamer employed on the Willapa Bay run was the ''Edgar''.〔Feagans, at 34, reprinting advertisement from the Washington Magazine〕
