Today's "River Queen," now moored upstream of Goble (2016), was built in 1922 as the ferry the "S.S. Shasta." She worked the San Francisco Bay until 1937... Between 1941 and 1958 the "Shasta" worked runs in Puget Sound, and in 1959 she was moved to Portland, renamed "Centennial Queen," and ran routes up and down the Columbia and Willamette Rivers, celebrating Oregon's 100th anniversary. Finally, the "S.S. Shasta/Centennial Queen" became the "River Queen," a floating restaurant docked along Portland's waterfront. The restaurant closed in 1995 and the "River Queen" was moved to St. Helens. Today (2016) she is moored along the Oregon shore between St. Helens and Goble.

The Shasta, San Mateo, and Yosemite were still being finished at Bethlehem Shipyard in 1922 when in March of that year a landslide destroyed the Six Minute Ferry north shore terminal on Morrow Cove. Unable to recover from the loss, the ferry company went out of business and the three sisters were sold to Southern Pacific, taking their place in the company’s already extensive fleet.

Out of work with the opening of the bay bridges, the sisters Shasta and San Mateo were offered for sale and purchased by the Puget Sound Navigation Company in 1941. (The Yosemite had been purchased by a South American company and taken to Argentina, where after some years in service it was wrecked, turned into a barge for a time and finally scrapped.)

The Shasta, like the San Mateo was not used consistently for PSN, spending much of her time in lay-up. The ferry worked in 1945 on the Seattle-Manchester route, and in 1946 through 1947 the steamer was put to work on the Winslow-Seattle run alongside the Kehloken. She was brought out of lay-up in the summer of 1950 the Shasta working as the spare boat on the Bremerton run.

After the State took over ferry operations in 1951, the ferry saw a little more service, working alongside her sister San Mateo on the Vashon run between 1952-54, but went into lay-up from September of 1954 until May of 1957. In 1957 the ferry was called into service for the summer season, working the Kingston route with the Nisqually.

The reason the San Mateo was used far more than the Shasta, was the Shasta’s bad habit of belching out a significant black cloud of oil smoke from her 47-foot high smokestack. Even in 1958 this wasn’t environmentally acceptable, and with the addition of the Evergreen State Class, the steamer was retired after the 1958 summer season.

Pacific Northwest Photoblog: September 22, 2010

She was brought up to Seattle in 1941 and worked a variety of routes to and from Seattle. Being a steam powered ferry though, she was an extremely smokey ship. This left her less then desirable, and the addition of newer sleeker ferries to the fleet in 1958 put her out of the ferry business in Seattle permanently.

The S.S. Shasta celebrated Oregon’s 1959 centennial in by working the Columbia River as the Centennial Queen. But as a pleasure ship she continued to loose money and was retired. A new owner converted her into the the floating restaurant, River Queen docked in Portland Oregon. As a restaurant she worked until 1995 and eventually made the Register of Historic Vessels.

Don Patterson, "End of the voyage for River Queen," June 9, 2017

Laid up in 1962, the steamship found work as a converted floating restaurant. Moored along the banks of the Willamette River, first near Sellwood, then amid Portland’s industrial warehouses and renamed River Queen, the steamer spent the next 30 years serving Portland diners. Passenger accommodations on the upper deck were removed for a dance floor and the car deck converted to a dining room.

But some of the grandeur remained. The stained glass clerestory windows and promenade deck hinted at a more elegant past.

A generation of Portlanders, who grew up in the 1960’s, fondly remembers prom dates and evening dinners on the River Queen. Michael Beardsley claims to have purchased the River Queen from the Roylance family who operated the restaurant until its closing in 1995. Beardsley dreamed of converting the ship to floating condos. But, just a few years later, he was looking for someone to assume responsibility for the deteriorating hulk.

“She really will go to the first person who puts up their hand and says, I’ll take her,” Beardsley wrote.

John William Howard, "Ghost Queen: Story of the forgotten River Queen," August 20, 2015

Delicate woodwork and stained glass adorned the aft-dining room on the upper deck, with trim around the walls painted a bright red to match the crimson carpet and chairs. One wall was covered with glimmering gold-colored paper and an intricate pattern of felt-like markings.

Outside, flags hung on wires strung between its smokestack, and red, white and blue awnings surrounded the upper deck’s antique windows. The various pipes on the roof were either bright red or bright blue, depending on the year.

Downstairs, cushioned red seats lined the outer edge of the dance and dining floor, stretching beneath large windows that dominated the walls of the lower deck. Between the upper and lower floors were a pair of elegant staircases, split up the middle with vibrant red banisters.

With a glimpse of the old River Queen’s former glory in mind, it’s easy to see what made it such an attraction. The old ferry boat was a destination for wedding receptions and anniversary celebrations, and even hosted top U.S. Navy brass at times when ships came into Portland for the Rose Festival.

The few collections of River Queen memories online draw countless comments from well-wishers who remember what dining and dancing on the floating restaurant was like. Those who can recall the experience paint the River Queen as an interesting place to visit. The food was good and the boat remained somewhat of a destination despite its attempts during river floods to work free of its bonds.

Stumptown Blogger: THE RIVER QUEEN...WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GRAND LADY?

SJW, May 26, 2011:

I remember riding the RQ several times during the Oregon Centennial from the downtown seawall to the Expo Center.

Kurt Arnold son of Chris Arnold, July 02, 2012

My dad and Walter Nutting bought this boat to Portland. It was my first job at 15, when my uncle Bill Pierce and Bill Roylance owend it. It hurts my heart to see this grand lady in such disrepair. I love this boat and have so much history with her. It breaks my heart to see her this way. Long live the QUEEN!

Steve Edwards, May 26, 2011:

I grew up with this old gal! I took my prom date there in the 60s where the waiter tripped on a rug and spilled a tray full of drinks on me and my tux. At this time it was secured by the Sellwood bridge. They gave me our dinners free so it all worked out! During the 80s, when it was docked at NW Front, I booked yearly customer appreciation dinner dances for the company I managed. I took my wife and kids there for Friday and Saturday lunches and dinners often as we all loved their Halibut Fish and Chips. It would be great to see this old gal opened again as a resurgance of the River Queen restaurant. If nothing else I hope it stays here for the people of Portland, Vancouver! Memories are the essense of a life lived! Thank you River Queen!!

Bonnie and Allan O'Brien, January 16, 2013:

I met my husband in August 1963 and we went to see Peter Paul and Mary, and afterwards we went to dinner on the River Queen. It was a night to remember! We since have been married 47 years and I always wanted to know what happened to the River Queen. The last I heard it was made into condos, but reading this I was surprised it was not. If I had the money I would fix it up and make it a restaurant again. We live in Edmonds ,WA.

Thanks River Queen for the memories!

Mike C., November 29, 2011:

I washed dishes on the River Queen in 1974 for some time, and I remember the staff was very nasty to me. The owner bought me a drink in the bar, and that was the best thing about my stay there. ... When I worked there, the head cook (nightshift) was a big black guy who was always hitting on the female servers. He turned up missing and reports were that he didn't pick up his check!

Bob Gavin, January 20, 2013:

I came to Portland in 1974 for work at WISCO shipyard just down river from the River Queen. The River Queen became my second home for many years after. I have great memories of the River Queen staff and regular customers. (However, some of my memories are a little clouded...?) Bill Roylance always welcomed the marine industry crowd with open arms; maybe because we all had a "hollow leg." The Port Engineer's annual Thanksgiving Day "Turkey Shoot" was held on the lower deck for many years. The River Queen is a big part of Portland's waterfront history. I hope it can be saved in some form or another.

Chris Anderson, November 25, 2012:

My days of the River Queen were from my old yachting days. Moored at the anchorage marina, my friends and I made many a trip to the restaurant and bar. In May of 1975, I had a party of four on board my boat and we tied up to the Queen. With a few too many drinks, one of my passenger's great ideas was to take the ship's wheel from the restaurant as a mascot for our yacht club. Needless to say we were stopped by the harbor patrol. My friend said not to worry, I am a personal friend of Harold Nutting and he will clear this all up. The harbor patrol said that was fine and dandy, but Bill Roylance is the owner now. Ooooooops. My ammends to this matter was to wash dishes for one week, meal included. Bill Roylance and I became friends from there on and many years after.

John Murphy, February 13, 2013:

I was also a dishwasher there from 75 to 77... I remember the staff well, I even had a girlfriend that was a waitress. Ellen was her name. I remember Joleen, another waitress, and the head chef was a great guy. I remember Kurt Russel came back into the kitchen and said hi to me (I was his batboy for the Bend Rainbows) and I also remember the Trailblazers giving us tickets to the games all the time. I had a great time and the Roylances always treated me great. I'm a chef now and wish it was open, I would love to give back to them. Oh yeah, I remember Casey chasing giant river rats out of the break room with knives. Ahh, the memories!

John William Howard, "Ghost Queen: Story of the forgotten River Queen," August 20, 2015

According to Jonak, the renovators made mistakes when changing the vessel from a ferry to a restaurant. For one, they used household lumber for the ornate woodwork — not marine-grade wood. They also didn’t care for the aging hull, and did nothing about asbestos below decks and inside the boiler room.

Eventually, in 1995, the boat fell into disrepair when a family illness forced the River Queen to close. More than two years later, it was bought by Portland-area developer Michael Beardsley, who hoped to turn it into floating condos: two units on the upper deck and two on the lower deck.

Michael Beardsley, Letter Posted by Stumptown Blogger, November 1, 2009

The Shasta currently sits on the Columbia between Deer Island and Goble, Oregon; Just off of hwy. 30.

I would be happy to tour her with anyone who contacts me with an interest. The ship is in a state of disrepair, that while not beyond hope, would still require many man-hours of elbow grease and no small amount of dollars to bring her around to her former glory. She does float; we had a hull survey done in 1998 which was favorable, and at that time we made the recommended repairs. We do have to pump her out periodically due to rain water getting in through numerous smashed windows.

She has been plagued by tweekers and pirates in recent years who have done her no favors, and 10 years sitting in the elements have not either.

Our plan originally was to convert her to floating condos. We went to the legislature, which subsequently led to a bill passed specifically to allow that; the first of its kind. However, the condo market in Portland has become bloated and over built, while the market flattened out. The plan died.

Next we tried to secure the San Mateo together with the Shasta into a proposal for a floating Casino in a partnership with a Native American group in The Gorge. That would have guaranteed the preservation of both ships for years to come, with plenty of dollars for their continued upkeep, but there was opposition to a casino there regardless of it's form and while that debate continues, we eventually withdrew from it.

She has sat since with no further plans on our part. Now we must remove her from our inventory and concentrate on the brick and mortar which is our forte.

We bought her in '98 from the Roylance family who had shuttered the River Queen restaurant two years before, due to Bill Roylance's ill health and the restaurant itself was long overdue for a makeover and was suffering from deferred maintenance. Bill eventually died and his widow wanted no more of it, it had been their life for 30+ years and she wanted to move on.

When she was converted into a restaurant in 1962, all of the ferry seating and snack bar went away. A kitchen, dance floor and bar took their place. On the car deck, the entire space was converted into a dining/bar/banquet space. Everything running from the engine to the stack was cut out to capture that space for use. The engine remains, but is of no use at this point.

On the upside, I have received a decent response to some Craigslist postings I did, and several groups have come to tour her with a variety of plans in mind: restoration for a floating museum, conversion into a floating home, a B&B and a floating woman's shelter to name a few. Interest has come from San Francisco, Portland and Seattle. Personally, I think keeping her in the Portland area makes the most sense, but I do have a bias there... Taking her upon the ocean to SF or Seattle would be a feat and one would probably want to place her on a barge for such a trip. Tug boats are not secured cheaply either.

All that said, I believe that she deserves better than the scrapper's torch and I know that someone with passion and effort could do something great with her. She is on the historic register, and that mostly governs her exterior appearance, one could do whatever they wanted to for the interior, and there is plenty of room to do it. She really will go to the first person who puts up their hand and says, "I'll Take her".

If anyone has even a passing interest in her and would like a tour, contact me @ [phone number] and I can set up a tour time. Thanks for your interest,

...the River Queen was put where many unused and unwanted items end up, though it might come as a surprise: Craigslist.

The ad attracted Jonak, a marine salvor who had kept his eye on the Queen for several years. Jonak says he immediately went to Beardsley’s office and bought the boat for $2, cash.

What he found, though, was disheartening. The River Queen was in far worse condition than he expected, having nearly succumbed to 10 years of vandals, squatters and “tweakers.”

Jonak says the boat was full of trash, including discarded needles and shattered glass. The unique brass finishings from the boat’s interior were gone, and many of the antique windows were missing. At times, it was apparent people would take potshots at the side of the River Queen from nearby Highway 30.

Once, Jonak remembers, a rock band arrived by boat, broke into one of the starboard windows, and filmed a music video inside using his electrical hookups to power their instruments and equipment before escaping the same way they had come.

Don Patterson, "End of the voyage for River Queen," June 9, 2017

After a number of years at a moorage near St. Helens the vessel ended up in the hands of Jonek. Vandals smashed the ornate glass and woodwork and the elements went to work on the aging vessel. Nor was it just the vandals. In July 2013, Jonek wrote a post saying he was selling parts off the ship to pay for the cost of repairs.

In April 2012 according to DSL documents, the agency signed a lease with Jonek for a marine industrial moorage near Goble. DSL said the purpose of the lease was restoring the River Queen. Jonek maintains the lease permitted industrial use of the moorage, including repair.

By March 2017, DSL reached a settlement with Jonek and Ison, agreeing to terminate the lease on May 1, 2017 and give the owners until June 1 to remove all vessels, hazardous and solid waste and personal property.

Several vessels remain at the site, including the River Queen. The upper deck has collapsed and a rock thrown onto her deck fell through the rusted steel. Rainwater pours into the vessel and its reported an Osprey made its nest in the smokestack.

Clay Jonak, July 21, 2013:

I am the current owner of both the Queen and the property. If anyone has questions feel free to contact me. I will be happy to answer them. All I ask is that the ship is a dangerous place currently. Please do not board without contacting me first. I can be reached at [phone number] or via email at [email address].

I am at the site most days and nights keeping thugs off the boat.

I am also selling items from the ship to help offset the cost of the repairs. If there is something you want and would like to buy it please let me know. Any money is 100% used for the ship.

John William Howard, "Ghost Queen: Story of the forgotten River Queen," August 20, 2015

The trash has been mostly cleaned up, and it’s possible to walk on the main deck and parts of the upper deck, but the floors remain littered with shattered glass. Now, there are just a handful of barrels and the frame of a rusting trailer on the inside of what used to be the car deck. A single broken chair and a few kitchen items lurk upstairs.

Jonak says the boat is basically ready for the next step in its life. He hopes to turn the River Queen into some type of floating workshop instead of scrapping it, but has struggled to make headway with a handful of state agencies to continue work on the boat.

…

Jonak lives in a small dwelling at the crowd’s center, cut off from the shore with the exception of a rickety wooden walkway. There are no water or sewer pipes, and no electricity running from the shoreline — and that’s what Jonak has been fighting for over the past five years.

The Coast Guard has concerns that the river isn’t navigable, and that some of Jonak’s boats might break free. The Department of Environmental Quality worries that fuel or other debris might leak from some of the boats and damage the river. The Department of State Lands has similar concerns, but for the surrounding wetlands. The Department of Justice is even involved, helping to sort out the issue and move forward.

Jonak, though, stresses two things. First, he has no intention of letting the boat rot indefinitely, and he hopes to eventually get a return on his $2 investment — even if that’s by scrapping the River Queen for what he believes may be nearly $100,000 in steel. His other concern is intrigued explorers, for whom Jonak has a clear message scrawled across part of the boat...

Jackson Hogan and Rose Lundy, "Coast Guard cleanup continues on Goble vessels," June 8, 2017

“The (vessels) are not currently contaminating the river,” Petty Officer First Class Levi Read said. “They’re at such a state where they may be contaminating the river. That’s why we came in: to prevent a contamination or spill.”

The Coast Guard is spending two weeks containing hazardous substances such as bunker oil, other fuels, asbestos, lead paint and household wastes from the vessels, according to Petty Officer First Class Levi Read. The Oregon Department of State Lands then will take over the cleanup, remove any remaining vessels and restore the site.

…

State Lands terminated an aquatics lands lease for the site effective May 1.

…

The most prominent of the boats is the imposing River Queen. Looking at the ship today, it stands out among the other neglected vessels, with a past far more luxurious. A couple of the Coast Guard officers at the site who grew up in Portland even remember it being used as a prom venue.

The other vessels are rusty but, for the most part, appear to have started their lives as smaller boats that were never that shiny to begin with.

The one-time restaurant’s previously-white paint has corroded into a dirty brown, its red smokestack is slowly chipping away to reveal a gray interior. The River Queen has multiple broken windows along with some little graffiti. Now it looks less like a ferry than an abandoned factory.

On one end of the Queen, the ceiling has caved in and crumpled like wet cardboard. Meanwhile, the bow and roof of the ship at the other end is carpeted in grass. A few small bushes have sprouted up as well.

Combined with the other dilapidated ships surrounding it, the group of vessels gives off an eerie ghost-town vibe. The only semi-modern looking item is a Coca-Cola vending machine on the Queen that appears to date to the 2000s.

The site was leased to Clay Jonak in April 2012 so he, and later his partner Roger Ison, could restore the River Queen, along with the other vessels. However, after three different ships sank between 2013 and 2016, causing environmental damage, the Oregon Department of State Lands terminated the pair’s lease.

The Department of State Lands issued a notice of lease termination to Jonak and Ison in November 2016 for failing to comply with state environmental regulations. The two appealed the notice in December. Just before they were set to go to trial in March, state officials settled with the leaseholders.

The settlement required Jonak and Ison to remove the vessels, but then the two sides grounded out over how the ships would be moved. Coast Guard inspections of the vessels had led them to fear that moving the ships would cause pollution, and it issued “Captain of the Port” orders meant to prevent release of contaminants. These requirements included removing all fuels before towing and providing a tow plan to the Coast Guard. Once the plan was submitted, the Coast Guard would inspect the vessels.

Jonak has said the requirements were a surprise and burdensome and he plans to challenge them in court. He also objects to the state’s conclusions that the vessels are worthless and should be scrapped.

“The barges the state wants to cut up and dispose of are worth $20 million,” Jonak told The Daily News. “They deemed them solid waste. I live on it. I have a home on it. How do you figure it’s solid waste?”

The expected costs are yet to be determined, but most of the Coast Guard cleanup will be covered by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund through the Columbia River Incident Management Division. This fund accumulates money over time through national fines for environmental crimes. The Coast Guard already has used $345,000 on previous cleanups of the site.

The Department of State Lands will use money from the Common School Fund for their portion of the cleanup. Little to no funding for the cleanup is expected to come from taxpayer dollars.

Keely Chalmers, KGW: Coast Guard cleaning up 'River Queen,' other derelict boats on Columbia, June 6, 2017

Officials said [Jonak] brought in another two dozen vessels over the years. Three of them ended up sinking. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, two of the boats required emergency cleanups.

Following a two-year effort to address pollution concerns, the state of Oregon took control of the site last week, and with the help of the Coast Guard, is now cleaning it up, removing hazardous materials like asbestos, lead paint and fuel.

…

Jonak said he had tried to move the derelict vessels over the years, but because of current state regulations, he was unable to do it.

According the Coast Guard, crews have cleaned up 1,200 pounds of hazardous materials in just last five days

They have also pumped off ten thousand gallons of oily water mixture and burned off 14 containers of propane.

They say it will take about two weeks to remove the hazardous materials. After that, the Oregon Department of Lands will take over the site, removing any remaining vessels and restoring the area.

Global Diving and Salvage: Project Detail - Derelict Commercial Vessel Removal, October 2018

In August 2017, Global was awarded a contract by the Oregon Department of State Lands to remove a flotilla of 11 derelict commercial vessels, debris and dock structures from a state-owned leasehold on the Columbia River. The vessels were: a 300-ton dredging vessel; the River Queen, an 800-ton former car ferry; a 300-ton crane barge; three steel-hulled material barges; a steel tugboat; two wooden tugs; a motor vessel; and a sailboat.

The site had been a problem for many years with a history of recurring “mystery spills”; Global had been contracted by the USCG and regulatory stakeholders to defuel sunken vessels on multiple occasions as they continued to sink at the site. The state terminated the leaseholder’s contract and ordered immediate removal of the vessels; at the time the project was put out to bid, three vessels at the site had already sunk and the remaining derelicts held the potential to release thousands of gallons of diesel, heavy fuel oil and other contaminants into the river. The US Coast Guard conducted an initial sweep of the vessels, removing the bulk hydrocarbons by defueling accessible tanks and removing hazardous fluids and solids, and an asbestos removal team began work on the known asbestos containing materials (ACM) in the River Queen.

Commencing Cleanup Efforts

Global’s initial work included booming around the site to contain any leaking contaminants and debris; dive and environmental crews also completed full video surveys of all vessels above and below water, and documented their contents. The two wooden tugs and the motor vessel had sunk, and the other 8 were in various stages of disrepair; several vessels were silted in near the bank. Although the River Queen was at the top of the state’s priority list for removal because of her potential pollution risk, most of the other vessels were moored or sunk in place around the former car ferry; they would have to be removed before the River Queen could be accessed.

Working steadily over several months, Global crews dewatered the floating vessels as needed to maintain buoyancy until they could be towed to a shipyard upstream for disposal; they also removed residual fuels, oils and other hazardous materials to mitigate the possibility of release until the vessels could be removed from the site. The decks of the floating vessels were cleared of several tons of debris including scrap metal, timbers, tires, broken construction equipment and camping trailers. A derrick barge was utilized for lifting and clamshelling operations to remove the sunken wooden vessels form the river bottom, and all clamshelled debris was placed onto materials barges. The barges were lined with plastic as a secondary containment, controlling contaminated water and waste.

All derelict commercial vessels at the Goble site were under a Captain of the Port order, requiring a tow plan for release prior to movement. After a US Coast Guard tow plan was approved, each structurally sound floating vessel was towed upstream to a disused shipyard that Global had contracted for the dismantling process. Once at the shipyard, rollerbags were used to haul the vessels up the boat ramp onto shore in lieu of a crane; the rollerbags provided a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach. The vessels were rolled into a 60-mil HDPE-lined containment area. Crews conducted hazardous materials sampling before breaking the vessels down for recycling and proper disposal and ensuring worker safety was at the forefront.

A River Queen No Longer

Moored at the center of the Goble site was the River Queen, a 215-foot long steel-hulled former car and passenger steamship ferry that had been turned into a floating restaurant and dance hall in the 1960s and had since fallen into serious disrepair. The vessel’s two stories of decks and pilot house were collapsing in on themselves; she was silted in and had developed a significant list. Because the River Queen was structurally unsound she couldn’t be towed upriver to the shipyard, so Global’s project managers, salvage master and naval architect developed a plan to remove the vessel’s topside structures and the cantilevered car deck at the Goble site, leaving just the steel hull. Once those elements were removed, the vessel’s hull could be placed into a floating drydock in the middle of the Columbia River and safely towed to the shipyard for final breaking.

Lead paint and asbestos were removed from the River Queen by abatement crews on site; once the topside deck structures were cleared of contaminants they were systematically deconstructed, and the debris was loaded onto materials barges. By early summer 2018, the vessel’s hull was ready to be braced for structural stability, then maneuvered into the floating drydock and towed upriver. At the shipyard, abatement crews continued their work on the hull, followed by teams using wire saws and torches to cut the hull into portions that could be lifted out by crane.

Returned to Nature

Once the River Queen was removed from the Goble site, Global crews were able to remove all remaining mooring pilings and dock structures; the leasehold and shoreline was returned to its pristine natural state in late summer, and the project reached completion in October 2018. The amount of scrap, hazardous materials and liquid waste the Global team removed from the site in a year is staggering:

• 80 tons of hazardous waste

• 510 tons of solid waste

• 113 tons of liquid waste and oily water

• 105 tons of miscellaneous waste materials (tires, etc.)

• 1,730 tons of recyclable metals (~800 tons were from the demolition of the River Queen
