Launched in 1901 by the Eastern Steamship Company to ferry passangers between Boston and Maine. In 1923 she ran aground in the Kennebec River. Coupled with a decline is passneger service the company sold her. When the new owner couldn't find a buyer he had the ship stripped of its fixtures and towed to Misery Island and set on fire to salvage any remaining items. Today all that remains are some ribs and parts of the boilers.
