The Columbia was a steamboat built at Astoria, Oregon in 1850. It was the first steamboat built in the Oregon Territory, and the first to establish regular service on the lower Columbia and Willamette rivers. This vessel should not be confused with the many other craft with the same or a similar name, including in particular at least four other vessels named Columbia which ran on the Columbia river or its tributaries.

| - It is to be regretted that there was no photo artist in those days to make a truthful picture of this poor sidewheeler as she struggled and panted against tide and current, doing her four or five miles an hour under favorable circumstances ... . (en)
- Everything in connection with her was of the miniature order excepting the rates of fare. For the luxury of a trip from Astoria to Portland the modest sum of $25 was asked and cheerfully paid, a considerable difference to the present 'cut rates' of 25 cents, by boat or railroad cars. During the time I was thus employed quite a number who subsequently became millionaires were passengers, among them being H. W. Corbett, John Green, Henry Leonard and others; and also, at one time, a party of school marms who had come out from the East to teach school in Oregon. (en)
