The F. Weyerheuser was built at Rock Island, Illinois in 1893. Her dimensions were: 1 140 x 31 x 4.5 feet; 216 tons. Her horse power was 300. She was built as a rafter for the Weyerheuser and Denkmann fleet and operated on the Upper Mississippi River. Later she was acquired by the U. S. Government, converted into a \"light house tender\" and renamed the U. S. Dandelion. Still later, after serving as a light house tender on the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, she was superceded by the new steel tender \"Wakerobin\" and then sold in November 1927 to Captain John F. Klein of Cairo, Illinois. She was repaired and sold again.
