Undine was a sternwheel-driven steamboat that operated from 1887 to 1935 on the Columbia and lower Willamette rivers.[1] From 1935 to 1940 the same vessel was operated under the name The Dalles.[2]
Undine was built at Portland, Oregon by shipbuilder J.H. Steffen for pioneer businessman Jacob Kamm and worked on the route along the lower Columbia river from Portland to Astoria, Oregon.[1] Undine was rebuilt in 1917 for the Harkins Transportation Company and rebuilt again in 1921.[1] The Harkins line ran Undine until 1935 when it was sold and renamed The Dalles.[2] The Dalles was dismantled in 1940.[2]
This vessel should not be confused with the Colorado River sternwheeler Undine.
