She had four boilers and her engines were 22 inches in diameter with an 8 foot stroke. When the third Kate Adams was built she was sold in 1901 and renamed the Dewey. She ran in the Memphis and New Orleans trade with the Julia. Later, she was again sold and called the Lotus Sims. She burned at St. Louis, Missouri on October 28, 1903.
