''Uncatena'' was a sidewheel steamer operating as a ferry serving the island of Martha's Vineyard during the beginning of the twentieth century. ''Uncatena'' was built in Wilmington, DE in 1902, and named after Uncatena Island, one of the Elizabeth Islands. She was 652 tons. She started service immediately to Martha's Vineyard for the New Bedford, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket Steamboat Co. ''Uncatena'' was the first steamer built with a steel hull tto serve the island and the first with a propeller. The paddles were housed in the superstructure, and an outline of the paddlebox appeared on its sides.〔 The Vineyard Gazette wrote in June 1961: Capt. Marshall (evidently Francis J. Marshall (1857–1933) of Edgartown) and Capt. Sylvia were both masters of ''Uncatena''. ''Uncatena'' was retired from service in 1928, after 26 years of operation. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Uncatena (steamboat)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
