This steamship was built with an iron hull, three decks, two masts brig-rigged, one funnel, and inverted engines. Her speed was 11 knots, and she was the first straight-stemmed vessel of the Guion Line. In 1881 her tonnage was increased to 3617 and compound engines were installed. The Nevada was sold in 1893 to the Dominion Line and renamed the Hamilton. In 1896 the vessel was scrapped.
