| Additional Information |
The WILMONT, built by Edwin Wolverton in 1903 and used by the Utah-Nevada Copper Company, was the first successful river boat on the rivers of southern Utah. It served on the river hauling passengers and freight until its hull was damaged by ice in winter of 1908, after which the machinery was salvaged and the boat abandoned. Wolverton built and used several other similar craft until he left the area in 1912 |
