The Gazelle: Disaster on the Pacific Northwest Waters

The Gazelle, named after an agile, graceful creature, was anything but. This hulking steamship, built in Linn City by the Willamette Falls Milling Company, met its customers on Tuesdays and Fridays in Canemah. Its financiers, Page, Bacon & Co, expected profits. But, exactly half a year later, The Gazelle returned, not to its intended destinations in Salem and Corvallis, but to the bottom of the Pacific Northwest's waters, taking 24 lives on April 8, at 6:40 am.
