There is a Horicon (II) that is a propeller-driven ship, which came sometime after Horicon (I) was retired.
Info from the Lake George Steamboat website:
The Horicon was built in Ticonderoga, NY and launched from Cook's Landing in 1877.
Her name was derived from James Fenimore Cooper's novel "Last of the Mohicans", Horicon being the name of the Lake in the novel.
She was the 2nd longest ship in the lake's history at 195 feet. She was 30 feet wide, drafted 9 feet, and displaced 643 tons.
Her 270 horsepower, second-hand engines propelled her to a speed of 20 mph. She once made the trip from Lake George Village to Ticonderoga in 1 hour and 45 minutes.
She was made entirely of wood and no expense was spared. She had grand saloons and cabins, her main saloon was 108 feet long and 27 feet wide and adorned with native woods. And she was topped with a beautiful hand-carved American Bald Eagle mounted on the top of the mast.
She ran daily trips north to Ticonderoga opposite of the Ganouskie (another Lake George steamer) carrying people and goods to Ticonderoga and various other points throughout the lake.
During the winter of 1901-1902, she was completely renovated at a cost of $25,057 ($647,822.24 in today's dollars). Even her hull was completely replaced, with the exception of her keel.
After 34 consecutive sailing seasons, still being in good sailing condition, she was retired and dismantled in 1911.
Here is an image of the main saloon, from 1 side of a stereoscope slide:

Printed on the bottom edge of the image:
"1271. Steamer Horicon, Lake George - looking aft."
The watermark is from "Adirondak Museum", where you can find many more pix of this and other Lake George images.
Here is another image of the ship, powering across the lake.
