The ''Maple Leaf'' was first launched as a freight and passenger vessel from the Marine Railway Yard in Kingston, Ontario in 1851. The 181-foot side wheel steamer measured 24.7 feet at the beam.〔 ==Sinking== It was a Union American Civil War transport struck by a Confederate torpedo - what we would now call a mine - as it was crossing the St. Johns River near Jacksonville on April 1, 1864.〔 Four crew members lost their lives in the sinking.〔 This was the first torpedo casualty of the War. The USS ''Norwich'' was dispatched to assess the condition of the wreck on April 2, and Captain Henry W. Dale concluded his ship and cargo as a total loss.
