City of Columbus was an American passenger steamer built in 1878 by Delaware River Iron Ship Building and Engine Works, at Chester, Pennsylvania. Owned by Boston & Savannah Steamship Company, the steamer made regular runs from Boston, Massachusetts, to Savannah, Georgia. City of Columbus ran aground on Devil's Bridge off the Gay Head Cliffs in Aquinnah, Massachusetts, in the early hours of January 18, 1884, resulting in 103 deaths.
