  1. ^ There was an earlier steamer called Echo operating on the Coquille River, owned by the James brothers. This vessel is reported to have sunk upriver from Coquille on the Monday before September 7, 1895. The freight was taken off and the owners placed a telephone call to Bandon for assistance in raising the vessel.
