Teaser (sternwheeler)
''Teaser'' was a steamboat which ran on the Columbia River and Puget Sound from 1874 to 1880.
==Columbia River service==
''Teaser'' was built in 1874 at The Dalles, Oregon, and was intended to run on the middle Columbia river, which was the stretch of navigable river that ran between the Cascades Rapids and Celilo Falls. At that time, all traffic proceeding upriver had to be offloaded onto a portage railroad that went around the impassable Cascades, then run upriver by rail to the Upper Cascades to be loaded onto another steamer to be carried to The Dalles, where another portage railroad existed around Celilo Falls. The reverse had to be followed for downriver traffic.〔
In the 1870s, the Oregon Steam Navigation Company had a monopoly on all traffic on the Columbia River. ''Teaser'' was launched as a boat to run in opposition to the monopoly, to make connections over the portage at the Cascades with the newly constructed ''Otter'', running on the lower river. Both ''Teaser'' and ''Otter'' were too small to mount a serious challenge to the powerful Oregon Steam Navigation Co., but to prevent any competition, the monopoly bought both vessels just the same, and both vessels were sent to Puget Sound.〔
