at the age of 13. Recovery of machinery On March 25, 1911, the boiler was brought into Portland by scow and unloaded at Willamette Iron & Steele Works. The machinery was off-loaded at the Taylor Street dock. An examination of the boat's engines was ordered, they had cracked when the boat sank after the fire. Some of Mascot’s machinery was sold on April 12, 1911. Decision to not replace Mascot After the destruction of Mascot, Undine was on the Lewis River route in its place, but Undine drew too much water to be operated on the river except at the times of the best water level. It reportedly would have cost about $25,000 to build a vessel of Mascot’s type, so consideration was given to building a freight-only vessel. With the elimination of staterooms and other passenger conveniences it was estimated that a freight and (perhaps) a day-passenger only boat could be built for $15,000. The rail lines had taken up so much of the passenger business that it was doubtful that a replacement passenger vessel could be placed on the Lewis River route. The Lewis River Transportation Company decided not to replace Mascot. Judgment in court On October 10, 1911, a jury in Multnomah County Circuit court awarded $5,000 to the estate of Sydney Illidge, for negligence in causing the death of the steward. Historical remembrance Captain Walter C. Monical, who had been a waiter on Mascot at the age of 15 in the early 1890s, became the master of the Veteran's Steamboatmen Association in 1943. Capt. W.A. Davis, formerly in charge of Mascot, attended the 1943 reunion of the Veteran Steamboatmen's Association. A monument including a one-dimensional steel model of Mascot was set up in Woodland in 2009. A kerosene lantern from Mascot is in the collection of the North Clark County Historical Museum in Amboy, Washington.
