As of April 13th, 1894, there were four steamboats which travelled from Fairmount Dam to Wissahickon that carried between 700 & 800 people and made stops at Belmont Cottage (Hunting Park Avenue meets East River Drive), Laurel Hill (at the bottom of the cemetery along East River Drive), Wood's Landing, Falls of Schuylkill (East Fall's near the Fall's Bridge) and Wissahickon (where Shurs Lane meets Main Street).
The Mayflower, Volunteer, Vigilant and Defender ran every 30 mins from April til Winter.
