Triumph was a sternwheel steamboat that ran on the Nooksack RiverinWhatcom County, Washington in the 1890s.

Career[edit]

Triumph is reported to have been built by Capt. Simon P. Randolph (d.1909 at Seattle), either 1889 at Lynden, WA[1] or in 1892 at Whatcom. Randolph, who received his master's license in 1871, had been the first man to operate a steamboat on Lake Washington, had commanded or owned a number of smaller sternwheelers over his career including Fannie, Old Settler, Comet, and the Edith R.[1] His son, Capt. Preston Brooks Randolph (1860–1939), was also involved in ownership and management of the later boats, including Triumph.[2]

Triumph was served on the Nooksack River, which the Randolphs had developed as a steamboat route. In 1897, Triumph was destroyed by fire near the town of Marietta, WA, in Whatcom County.[2]
