It is one of the most common members within the genus of "Buteo" in North America or worldwide.

Shaver Transportation Company "Shaver" included previously-used mechanical components from other steamboats. In the "Shaver"'s case, these included steam valves that had served in at least two prior steamboats going back to 1857. Once built, "Shaver" was used as a tow and work boat.
