Description
Built in Bath in 1895, the 262 foot steamship St. Croix of the Eastern Steamship Lines displaced 2,000 tons. It is unclear if the vessel was named for the St. Croix, a short river which flows between Calais, Maine and St. Stephen, New Brunswick to empty into Passamaquoddy Bay, or St. Croix Island in the mouth of that river, traditional site of the first European settlement in 1604.
