Winema (sternwheeler)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winema was the largest steamboat ever to operate on Upper Klamath Lake in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] The steamer ran from 1905 to 1919, when it was hauled out of the water permanently. Winema was sunk by a sudden squall in August 1907. The vessel was raised, rebuilt and returned to service. The steamer remained out of the water for a number of years in the 1920, until it caught fire in 1925 or 1927 and was destroyed.
