Single-screw steamship: 3238 tons: 378' x 43' x 32'

This three-decked Guion Line steamship's home port was Liverpool. She was built with an iron hull, two masts, one funnel, and the earliest compound engines used in the transatlantic service. Her tonnage was later increased to 3700. She was the sister ship of the Wyoming. In 1893 the Wisconsin was scrapped.
