Also Check with the Oregon Historical Soc. they may have something on them also. Another trick is to google for Oregon Steam Boats or the Multnomah steam boat Oregon experiment as I and a friend located my gg grandfathers ship he came from England on that way. The less topics in the search usually the better luck you have but I have also narrowed things down by adding more Information. So just play and keep track of what you have tried.
