Oregon[1] built in 1845, was a side-wheel driven steamboat operating on the Hudson River. Originally built for George Law, it was later bought by Daniel Drew. Drew was operating a service using his boat Knickerbocker on the Stonington and New York route. George Law saw the chance to provide competition and had the Oregon (a "floating palace") built in 1845.
