Chester was a shallow draft steamboat built in 1897 that ran until 1917, mostly on the Cowlitz River in southwestern Washington. Chester was built to an unorthodox design. When Chester was built it was widely predicted that the boat would be a failure. Instead Chester was a success, and was said to have paid for itself many times over. Although one of the smallest steamers to operate on the Columbia river system, Chester had an important role to play in connection with the Cowlitz river basin, because it made a connection at Kelso, Washington with larger steamers running to Portland, Oregon.
