Description:	: The iron side-wheel "Magnet" was first constructed in England in 1846, then dismantled, shipped overseas, and rebuilt by Niagara Drydock Company in 1847 in Hamilton, Ontario. She ran on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River for a number of years, and became the steamer "Hamilton" in 1895. She was later converted into an oil barge, and then subsidized by the government and used as a gunboat during the Fenian Raid.
