Caption on image: "Oregon" Nome June 11th, 1904. Iron steamer built at Chester, PA, in 1878 and arrived on the Pacific Coast the following year for the Portland-San Francisco service. Laid up at Portland in 1894 but came back into service for the Alaska gold rush, holding the Nome-Puget Sound record at the time of her loss. At midnight on September 13, 1906, she struck the rocks on the beach at Cape Hinchinbrook near the entrance to Prince William Sound and was later deemed a total loss.
