The OLYMPIAN ran aground in 1903 in the Straits of Magellan. She was built at Wilmington, DE, in 1883. She was a steel sidewheel steamer, 261.5 feet in length with a beam of 40 feet (73 feet over the paddle wheels). She served the Portland-Ilwaco route for several years, had made voyages one season to southeastern Alaska, subsequently returning to the Victoria run, after which she was laid up, the sidewheel method of propulsion having become outdated for large vessels and her expenses being extremely high. She had been sold to East Coast owners and was on her way to be delivered to them when she was lost. (pg. 94). Notes from Gordon Newell, ed., The H.W. McCurdy Marine History of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle: Superior Publishing Co, 1966). The UMATILLA was a two-masted iron-hulled 2000 ton commercial passenger cargo steamer built in 1881 in Chester, Pennsylvania for the Oregon Improvement Company. She was owned by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company from 1897-1916. On March 5, 1918, she was stranded off the coast of Japan. The Japanese dismantled her, plate by plate, and rebuilt her as the Gordon Newell.
