Summary

Description

HIGHEST DRAW BRIDGE IN THE U.S. ST. MARIES, IDAHO.

Date: Circa 1910 Source Type: Postcard Publisher, Printer, Photographer: AZO Postmark: None Collection: Steven R. Shook Remark: The propeller driven steamboat Colfax was constructed in 1902 by the Johnson Boat Works and was 100 feet long. Its design was very similar to the Spokane but slightly larger. The boat was reportedly constructed to serve the white pine lumber trade on Lake Coeur d'Alene and the St. Joe River and could carry fifty tons of ore.

The Colfax was owned and operated by Captains E. D. McDonald and George Reynolds but was shortly thereafter purchased by the Coeur d'Alene & St. Joe Transportation Company, known as the Red Collar Line.

The Colfax was deliberately sunk at Three Mile Point on Lake Coeur d'Alene. Three Mile Point is situated on the west shore of the lake, roughly between Kidd Island Bay and Mica Bay.
