Sue H. Elmore
''Sue H. Elmore'' was a steamboat built for service on the coast of Oregon and southwest Washington. From 1900 to 1917, the vessel's principal route ran from Portland, Oregon down the Columbia River to Astoria, and then west across the Columbia Bar, then south along the Oregon coast to Tillamook Bay. Once at Tillamook Bay, ''Sue H. Elmore'' was one of the few vessels that could reach Tillamook City at the extreme southern edge of the mostly very shallow bay. After this ''Sue H. Elmore'' was sold, being operated briefly in Puget Sound under the name ''Bergen'', and then for many years, out of San Diego, California as a tugboat under the name ''Cuyamaca''. During World War II ''Cuyamaca'' was acquired by the U.S. Army which operated the vessel as ''ST-361''. Afterwards the army sold ''ST-361'' and the vessel returned to civil hands, again under the name ''Cuyamaca''. In 1948 ''Cuyamaca'' sank in a harbor in Venezuela, but was raised and by the early 1950s, was owned by one A. W. Smith, of Pensacola, Florida. This vessel's former landing place in Tillamook, Oregon is now a municipal park named after the ship.
==Design==
''Sue H. Elmore'' was built for the Pacific Navigation Company, which was closely linked to the S. Elmore Canning Company, with the wealthy businessman Samuel Elmore (1847-1910) being president of both concerns. The steamer was named after Samuel Elmore's eldest daughter.〔 This vessel was generally called the Elmore.
The intended use for the vessel was to establish regular steamship service between Tillamook, on the coast of Oregon, and Portland. Up until that time the bad navigation conditions at the entrance, called a "bar", to Tillamook Bay, had made it not always possible to make regular trips.〔 The new steamer, generally called the ''Elmore'' in practice, was designed by Capt. Paul Schrader (born 1850), who was also a stockholder in the Pacific Navigation Company.〔 The ''Sue H. Elmore'' was also intended replace of the company's former steamer, the ''R.T. Elmore'', which had been sold and taken to Alaska.〔
Schrader had over 20 years experience on the Tillamook route, and incorporated this experience into the design of the vessel.〔 The steamer was "especially designed for barred harbor and coasting trade." The ''Elmore'' was intended to carry a big load of freight on a light draft on the shallow waters of Tillamook Bay.〔 Elmore was also equipped to carry passengers.〔 It was also built for service along the Oregon coast to the salmon-packing plants of the S. Elmore Cannery Co.〔
