The Wash Honshell was built at Cincinnati, Ohio in 1892. Her dimensions were: 157 x 28.6 x 4.0 feet; 134 tons. Coming up the river on April 12, 1903, she was struck by a storm and one of her three barges of lumber was sunk. On August 25, 1903, while laid up at Cincinnati, Ohio, she caught fire due to sparks from a blacksmith's forge. The damage to her upper works was five thousand dollars. While enroute up the Mississippi River and when near Delta Landing, on October 8, 1907, she broke her shaft resulting in a damage of some $2000.
