Ilwaco was a small riverine and coastal steamship built in 1890 which was operated as a passenger vessel for the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company, and later served in other roles, including tow and freight boat, cannery tender and fish packing vessel. Ilwaco was originally named Suomi.
Ilwaco served in several areas of the Pacific Northwest, including the Columbia River, the San Juan Islands, Puget Sound. Ilwaco also served coastal areas near San Francisco Bay, and the Inside Passage in Alaska. Ilwaco was wrecked in 1918 at Green Island, in Chatham Sound, not far from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, in the Inside Passage.
