The wooden steam screw Flora Webster was built in 1871 (possibly 1872) at Menasha, Wisconsin by Webster and Lawson for the purpose of transporting logs and heavy timber on the Fox River to the mill at Menasha.

The vessel had a "double wheel propeller", twin propellers, which was changed in approximately 1880 during a rebuild to a single propeller. "She was then hauled out at Green Bay and rebuilt, being very much enlarged and then taken to Milwaukee. Finding her steam power insufficient she was put in dry dock and again rebuilt and changed into a single wheel propeller and new boilers of greater power placed on board." History Of Winnebago County page 602.
