context_page_description: Gazelle was a gasoline powered launch that operated on the Willamette and Columbia river from 1905 to 1911. For short periods of time Gazelle was operated on the Oregon Coast, on Yaquina Bay and also as an off-shore fishing vessel, in the Coos Bay area.
context_section_description: During the night of July 20–21, 1910, while Gazelle was moored at Vancouver, Washington, it was rammed during the night by another vessel.  As a result Gazelle sank, leaving the pilot house above the surface of the water.   The name of the other vessel was not disclosed in the initial report.  Gazelle was then valued at about $4,000 and was owned by the Scott brothers.  Following the sinking, the tug Alarm was placed alongside Gazelle.  Gazelle was thought likely to be raised and returned to service.
