The Gay Marie: a steam ship’s peril and fate along the Willamette
The Gamecock struck a rock near Cascade Locks by the Columbia River. Flooding preserved only the pit house and bow. After salvage and a Portland return, she became a floating club house as The Rosissle then sank under the Portland seawall. Re floated as the Gay Marie, she reached Salem for apartment remodeling, but a succession of storms, rain, and neglect left the craft abandoned and listing.
