This outstanding original albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. and the soon-to-be-launched Sidewheeler Ocean Wave. Designed by Jacob Kamm the Ocean Wave was 180 feet long 29 feet at the beam and depth of hold at 9 feet with a much larger deck which was cantilevered out to accommodate the side-wheeler configuration and grossed 725 tons. She was powered by two James Rees & Co. steam engines 24 foot sidewheels fitted with 10 foot planks over 10 feet long and capable of 18 miles per hour. She included enough state room accommodations for 115 passengers and berths for 75 more. Her first captain was Lester Bailey and the Ocean Wave was a vital link to the short narrow gauge railroad on the Long Beach Peninsula which transported vacationers from Portland to Ilwaco WA with a stop in Astoria. In 1897 Kammâ€™s co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. â€œWhite Lineâ€ to compete with Kammâ€™s Vancouver Transportation Co. then operated on the Puget Sound from 1897 to 1899 and finally as a ferry operating in San Francisco Bay from 1899 to 1911 and was the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.

This exceptional original boudoir-sized albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the recently formed Vancouver Transportation Co. and newly launched Steamer Lurline. First built and launched by Jacob Kamm with John Ainsworth the hull was 153 feet with overall length of 175 feet beam of 30 feet and 6 foot depth of hold. The initial configuration featured a two-cylinder engine built by The Harlen & Hollingsworth Co. of Wilmington DE and a locomotive-style boiler built by Ward Stanton & Co. in New Burgh NY. With a three foot draft and top speed of 17 miles per hour the Lurline was able to sail for the Vancouver Transportation Co. on the Willamette Columbia and Lewis Rivers with fairly easy clearance. She operated for over 50 years was rebuilt several times survived being rammed and sunk at Rainier OR Nov. 21 1906 by the steam schooner Cascade and never acquired the reputation of speed as her sister ship the Bailey Gatzert but served until dismantled in 1930. Her upper works which remained quite similar to those seen in this photo were actually transferred to the diesel-powered L.P. Hosford which operated until after 1966.
