The Springfield

The Springfield, was a stern wheeler which was previously named the Brittain and before that the Oscar Wilde. She was 111 feet long with a capacity of 45 tons. She served on the Belleisle route as the Springfield starting in 1891, although she did serve on other routes before or after this.

The Springfield burned while tied to the wharf at Hatfield Point late in 1907. She was cut loose and floated over to the marsh nearby. In the 1970s, it was reported that the boiler could still be seen at low tide.
