The Sommarstrom Ship Building Company from San Francisco established a shipyard in Columbia City in 1917, which was quickly followed by another shipyard built by the International Shipbuilding Company. The Sommarstrom Company produced eight ships for the the war effort, which is impressive considering that the war ended in late 1918. The last vessel constructed by Sommarstrom was the Kate G. Pederson, which was launched in May 1920, its first voyage to carry lumber to Australia. The shipyard was sold shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Welcome to Columbia City by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7414507036\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.staticflickr.com\/5315\/7414507036_6d6bf72795_z.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome to Columbia City\" width=\"640\" height=\"436\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"City Hall by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7423508476\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7136\/7423508476_42704fcb69_z.jpg\" alt=\"City Hall\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCity Hall<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Caples House by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7423508568\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7118\/7423508568_58f309d4ab_z.jpg\" alt=\"Caples House\" width=\"425\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCaples House Museum<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Hanging house by Just Peachy!, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cheryl_hill\/7423515962\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7272\/7423515962_d051659c3a_z.jpg\" alt=\"Hanging house\" width=\"640\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nA house suspended over the river<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Columbia+City,+OR&amp;hl=en&amp;ll=45.890128,-122.807064&amp;spn=0.040445,0.128489&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=46.812293,131.572266&amp;hnear=Columbia+City,+Columbia,+Oregon&amp;t=m&amp;z=14\" target=\"_blank\">Map of Columbia City<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peachylife.net\/blog\/oregontownsproject\/\" target=\"_self\">Oregon Towns Project<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date of visit: October 15, 2011 Population: 1,946 (2010 Census) When World War I broke out, the government was in<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/2012\/06\/28\/columbia-city\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Columbia City<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66],"tags":[138],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1014"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1014\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cherylhill.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
