the design of the "bailey gatzert" inspired several other sternwheelers, including the 1897 arrow lakes, british columbia sternwheeler "rossland" and, much later, the m/v columbia gorge, launched at hood river, oregon in 1983. "rossland", said to have been one of the most elegant steamboats ever built, was designed by captain james w. troup, the same man who had been on board "bailey gatzert" when it was launched in 1890.
