This boat was built for Captain Jonathan Cone at the cost of $60,000 and ran between Philadelphia and Trenton. The boat transported troops and army supplies during the Civil War. Captain Cone also had several other ships built on the river. Captain Joseph Quicksall, who lived at 242 Wood Street, was captain of this boat for many years. He lived from 1841-1913. He and his son Fred were in the hardware and furniture business on Mill Street. His son became a minister and left the business.
