This is a spin off from Steamboats of the Columbia River. It's rough, needs work and organization, pictures and maps. Mtsmallwood (talk) 17:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Should current fake steamboats like the Willamette Queen in Salem be added to this page or somewhere? Jason McHuff (talk) 03:30, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, a lot of these boats (all diesel powered) like the largest one (Columbia Gorge) operating out of Cascade Locks, are used for excursions and that was a big role for the old steamboats too, so a section on these would be fine, even if the new ones are not technically "steam" driven.Mtsmallwood (talk) 03:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
