Built in 1907 as the Machigonne, it was requisitioned for war service. It served in Boston harbor and after the war it was returned to civilian ferry service. It became the Yankee in the 1940's. It did not operate out of Hoboken. The vessel was once used in the New York area for service to Liberty Island among other duties.
