Columbia Rediviva (commonly known as the Columbia) was a privately owned sloop under Captain Robert Gray, best known for going to the Pacific Northwest for the fur trade. The ship is named for one of the three patron saints of Ireland, St. Columb, or St. Columba, a great Irish sailor who founded a monastery on the island of Iona in Scotland in the sixth century A.D.^{[citation needed]} The "Rediviva" (Latin "revived") was added to her name upon a rebuilding in 1787. Since Columbia was privately owned, she does not carry the prefix designation "USS".
