Description
An audio recording of an oral history of Sidney J. Harris, sternwheeler riverboat captain on the Columbia and Willamette towing logs and ships from 1913 until retirement in approximately 1955. Harris operated a Stern Weaver from Astoria or Cascade Locks down carrying crates and logs. It took around 13 men to operate a single ship during a trip. Running into things, going onto the ground, sinking were all part of the job.
