Columbia was a barque launched in 1835 in London for the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). She served in the service of the Columbia District of the HBC on the Columbia River and elsewhere in the Pacific Northwest in the 1830s and 1840s.[1]
Columbia first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1836 with Darbey, master, and Hudson's Bay Company, owner.[2]
On her maiden voyage, in 1835, she served as escort to the Beaver. Her voyages included the coast of California and the Sandwich Islands. She made six voyages out of London in all, and spent part of 1846–1847 in Fort Victoria, British Columbia. Columbia was sold in 1850.Template:Sfnp
Various letters addressed to sailors serving aboard the barque Columbia survive in the book Undelivered Letters to Hudson's Bay Company Men on the Northwest Coast of America, 1830-57.[3]Template:Sfnp
