Folio. 8.25 x 13.25 in. 103 (i.e. 104) leaves, typescript manuscript, mimeograph typescript, TLS on letterhead. Including 4 maps (1 reproducing original William W. Chapman Homestead Claim; 1 blueprint cyanotype map reproducing 1862 plat map of Chapman; blueprint cyanotype map of Portland & East Portland dated 1866; 1 blueprint cyanotype of Lownsdales Map of Portland Claim). Mustard-coloured cloth post-binder, sewn at upper fore-edge w/ white string, ink manuscript identifying property, black lettering stamped on front cover (minor shelfwear, rubbing, occasional creasing, scuffing), still VG copy, 2 TLS are signed Pres. Gordon of the Lawyers Title and Trust Company, Portland, OR, dated Sept. 22 & Nov. 24, 1919, from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm (1840-1932), noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland, built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA, and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray (1810-1889). Scarce Abstract of Title typescript manuscript prepared for Caroline Kamm, regarding properties accumulated by her husband Jacob Kamm, and then inherited by her upon his death and according to his will included here in 1912, in order to clear liens on the properties. These lots were part of the properties originally granted to Stephen Coffin (1807-1882) and Daniel H. Lownsdale in 1850, and subsequently acquired by Oregon Pioneer William Chapman (1808-1892) and where he built a home occupied for only a few years, and later served as the Surveyor General of Oregon from 1857-1861, but opposed US President Abraham Lincoln. Others who owned parcels included in the Kamm holdings listed here encompassed were John H. Couch, and Benjamin Stark. Coffin was one of the earliest investors and land promoters in Oregon, who in 1849 had bought a half-interest in the entire Portland townsite, and in 1856 with neighbor Finice Caruthers established the Pioneer Water Works driking water supply for the City. Lownsdale (1803-1862) was another owner of the original townsite, and actually was the one who resurveyed Portland with 200 feet per side small blocks, 64 foot streets, and added the contiguous park blocks. Documents reproduced within this Abstract of Title also include Ordinance No. 69 which governed the 1869 Survey of the City of Portland, and Couch's Addition; Ordinance No. 177 which regulated the base line and surveys of the City boundaries, Ordinance 178, Ordinance 619; description of the Donation Claim plat map in 1862; the numerous ownership changes amongst the McMillen's, Bolsinger's, Crouse's, Herrington's, William Ladd, and more to Jacob Kamm. Included in the entirety as well was the Probate No. 10444 filed to clear the estate of Jacob Kamm filed by Caroline Gray Kamm in Dec., 1912, which carefully delineated all of the properties owned by the deceased, and their values. It appears from the Will that Kamm, Oregon Steam & Navigation Co., Vancouver Transportation Co., and other entities owned a large part of downtown Portland, OR with lots spread over 25 different city blocks. The controversial Portland Building designed by post-Modernist Michael Graves occupies the block now, and was completed in 1982, and later the massive copper statue Portlandia was mounted above the main entry on Fifth Ave. in 1985.…

Oblong boudoir-sized albumen photo 7.5 x 4.25 in. mounted on cream-coloured studio board sized 8.5 x 5.25 in., ink manuscript caption at lower fore-edge, rounded corners (very minor dustsoiling), still a superb exemplar, from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm (1840-1932), noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland, built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA, and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray (1810-1889) who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston, ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent, and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm (1823-1912), pioneering Oregon steamship builder, industrialist, entrepreneur, and owner/operator of the Vancouver Transportation Co. 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.

Oblong 8vo. 9.75 x 5.5 in. [2 pp (unpaginated).], with woodcut-engraved illustration of the steam sternwheeler, decorative borders, printing on recto & verso, perforated edges at left gutter margin, NF copy, from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm (1840-1932), noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland, built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA, and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray (1810-1889) who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston, ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent, and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm (1823-1912), pioneering Oregon steamship builder, industrialist, entrepreneur, and owner/operator of the Vancouver Transportation Co. An exceedingly scarce original Washington Territory stock certificate issued originally in 1874 at the capitalization of the Vancouver Transportation Co. Jacob Kamm was one of the largest owners of the Oregon Steam & Navigation Co. -- first organized in 1860, joined with James Gray to form this second transportation company, and acquired the George S. Wright, a steamship which operated in the coastal trade between Portland, Astoria, Victoria, and Sitka, Alaska. They then also added the steamship Carrie (only sailed until 1876) which Kamm had also constructed, and thereby formed the Vancouver Transportation Co. Jacob Kamm's son, Charles Tilton Kamm (1860-1906), was mate, master & pilot of several of the Kamm steamships on the Columbia & Lewis Rivers, including the Undine and Lurline who sailed the Portland, Vancouver, & Astoria route, and eventually became Superintendent of the Vancouver Transportation Co. & Lewis River Transportation Co., before dying suddenly of a stroke at 46.

Oblong albumen photo sized 9.5 x 7 in. mounted on cream-coloured studio board sized 8 x 10 in., (slight curving), still a superb exemplar, from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm (1840-1932), noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland, built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA, and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray (1810-1889) who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston, ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent, and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm (1823-1912), pioneering Oregon steamship builder, industrialist, entrepreneur, and co-owner/operator of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. 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, Kamm's co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. "White Line" to compete with Kamm'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.

Condition: Very Good. Vancouver, WA / Portland, OR: [Vancouver Transportation Company], c. 1878-1899. Original Drafting Linen Sheet. AN ORIGINAL NINETEENTH-CENTURY ENGINEERING MASTER CREATED FOR THE STEAMER THAT HELPED DEFINE COLUMBIA RIVER TRAVEL. DESCRIPTION: An original master technical schematic executed in India ink on treated drafting linen, detailing the locomotive-style firebox boiler for the celebrated Columbia River passenger sternwheeler 'Lurline'. Created under the direction of pioneer maritime engineer Jacob Kamm, this translucent master drawing served as the direct shop plate for Pacific Northwest ironworks during the golden age of riverboat steam navigation. A scarce primary engineering artifact from an intact 19th-century Columbia and Willamette River maritime collection. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Hand-drawn technical schematic in India ink, featuring a dual elevation and cross-sectional layout of a marine firebox boiler. Detail highlights a 230-tube firebox sheet, crown sheet radius, stay-bolt grid, furnace access doors, and a 6-inch steam pipe nozzle flange profile. +++ Binding: Single unbacked drafting sheet; executed on semi-translucent, starched architectural drafting linen (tracing cloth). +++ Content: Marine steam engineering design for a Western-river style sternwheeler boiler assembly, including precise scale dimensions, rivet placement, handhole access points, and pressure vessel specifications. +++ Imprint: Unrecorded shop master; associated with the Vancouver Transportation Company and the steamship 'Lurline', c. 1878-1899. +++ Specs: Sheet size: 19.5 x 32.5 inches. Drawing area: approximately 12.5 x 22 inches. +++ Provenance: Acquired directly as part of an intact 19th-century Pacific Northwest steamship archive containing certified inspection documents, rudder schematics, and line drawings explicitly referencing Jacob Kamm and the passenger steamer 'Lurline'. CONDITION: The drafting linen remains structurally sound, flexible, and intact, retaining its original translucent, water-resistant starch coating. Minor marginal creasing and light age-toning consistent with late-19th-century maritime ironworks use. Ink drafting lines, cross-hatching, and handwritten engineering annotations remain crisp, dark, and entirely legible. Free of major tears or material loss. Excellent institutional preservation state. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: BUILDING THE COLUMBIA FLEET. Jacob Kamm was among the most influential maritime engineers in Pacific Northwest history. Arriving in Oregon in 1850, he served as chief engineer for early river transport, co-founded the Oregon Steam Navigation Company, and later established the Vancouver Transportation Company. Kamm's sternwheelers were critical to regional economic expansion, providing vital transport for passengers and freight along the Columbia and Willamette rivers. THE HEART OF LURLINE. The passenger sternwheeler 'Lurline', built by Kamm in 1878, was famous for her speed and service on the Portland-to-Astoria run. Because marine boilers required precise custom fabrication to withstand extreme working steam pressures, master linen drawings like this were provided directly to boilerworks foundries as the source template for construction and repair. A SURVIVING WORKSHOP RECORD. As an original manuscript drafting plate rather than a secondary photographic or printed reproduction, this sheet represents a primary, unrecorded document of 19th-century American steamship technology and Northwest regional transportation history. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Engineering History: Represents an authentic master drafting linen plate-the durable, moisture-resistant translucent medium required in late-19th-century foundries to produce contact blue-prints (cyanotypes) without tearing or distortion. +++ Maritime Design: Documents the specialized low-headroom, high-capacity locomotive firebox boiler design essential for shallow-draft Columbia River sternwheelers operating between Portland, Vancouver, and Astoria. +++ R.…
