Five luxurious packets were expressly designed and built for the Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Packet Line:
(1) Katie Stockdale
(2) Keystone State
(3) Iron Queen
(4) Virginia
(5) Queen City
The names of the officers of the packets have been gleaned from various sources. By no means is the list deemed complete or ordered by date of service. Names to fill in the gaps of information will be greatly appreciated.
