Gazelle was built at the now vanished town of Linn City, which was located on the west side of the Willamette River across from Oregon City. She was driven by two steam engines, each one turning one of her sidewheels. Gazelle's builders were doing business as the Willamette Falls Canal, Milling and Transportation Company.
