Martha's Vineyard (steamboat) Martha's Vineyard (steamboat) The Martha's Vineyard was a sidewheel steamer operating as a ferry serving the island of Martha's Vineyard during the second half of the nineteenth century. It was built in 1871 in Brooklyn, NY. It was a 515-ton vessel, 185 feet long, with a 29' beam. A 1961 "Vineyard Gazette" article noted the beauty of the vessel: "The "Martha's Vineyard"...had decorated paddleboxes that made large, rhythmic and beautiful half-circles on the sides." as well as how exposed it was: " The "Martha's Vineyard" at first had no hurricane deck open to passengers, and eventually only a partial one."
