The ''Monohansett'' was a sidewheel steamer operating as a ferry serving the island of Martha's Vineyard during the end of the nineteenth century. It was named after Monohansett Island, a tiny twelve-acre island off Naushon.〔Banks, Charles E., ''The History of Martha's Vineyard, Mass., Volume I''. (Dukes County Historical Society, 1911)〕
