Steamboat ROCKLAND
This steamboat ROCKLAND was the second of three by that name. Built in Boston in 1883, she worked primarily in the Penobscot Bay and River between Rockland and Bangor. For a time she saw eastern service for the Blue Hill Lines. Her dimensions were: 98.9 ft. length x 16.5 ft. beam x 6.7 ft. draft, and 135 tons gross weight. She was called "Litte Rockland" because she followed the larger sidewheel ROCKLAND of the Civil War era. Later in her life she was named INTERSTATE PARK. In 1924 she sank at a pier in Brooklyn, NY.
