The ''River Queen'' was a sidewheel steamer operating as a ferry serving the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket during the late 19th century. It is closely associated with President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant, and was used for an unsuccessful peace conference during the last year of the American Civil War. ==Construction== ''River Queen'' was built at Keyport, New Jersey in 1864.〔Turner, Harry B. ''The Story of the Island Steamers'' (The Inquirer and Mirror Press, 1910) ()〕〔(Ship and Yacht Register Search )〕 It was initially owned by Alfred Van Santvoord,〔("Alfred Van Santvoord", ''New York Times'', July 2, 1899 )〕 and later was one of four steamers operating for the New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamboat Co when that concern was organized in March 1886. (The other three vessels were ''Island Home'', ''Martha's Vineyard'' and ''Monohansett''.)〔(Vineyard Gazette Online )〕 ''River Queen'' had sailed this route since 1871 for the company's predecessors.〔
