Antelope was a steamboat that was operated on the Coquille River and on Coos Bay on the southern Oregon coast from 1886 to about 1908.

Antelope was a versatile boat, which served in various roles, including passenger transport, barge towing, and as a fisheries tender.

[6] William E. Baines of Marshfield had a contract to supply stone to the Corps of Engineers for the construction of the north jetty at the Coos Bay Bar.

[4] On September 20, 1895, it was reported that the steamer Antelope had changed hands, and was going to be withdrawn from the fish trade and placed into competition with the Dispatch on the run to Coquille.

[10] The steamer lay with the stern towards the beach, and at high tide only the wheelhouse and part of the after cabin were clear of the water.

[10] On October 29, 1904, at 8:00 pm during a strong gale from the northwest, Antelope was blown ashore on the tide flats two miles south of the Coquille River life-saving station.

[12] Counting Antelope, this would make a total of five steamers running daily from Bandon to Coquille, the others being Dispatch, Favorite, Reta and Liberty.

[12] On January 28, 1905, Antelope was scheduled to carry passengers free of charge from Bandon to a ball at Riverton (admission price $1 each).

[15] On Sunday, October 22, a photograph was taken of Ott Willard, his crew and their "floating palace", the Antelope, with two scows loaded with salmon lashed alongside, as they came to the dock in Bandon.

It is possible that the vessel was dismantled in 1908, as it was reported in that year that Antelope's boiler was sold to Charles James and others to be installed in a new shingle mill that was to be built at a place called Two Mile, downriver from Bandon, Oregon.
