A few notes on her in German Wikipedia. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misdroy_(Schiff,_1859)
A Google Translate of that entry: The Misdroy was a side wheel steamer that was used as a cruise liner (sea-resort ferry) in the Stettin Lagoon and the Pomeranian coast between 1859 and 1900. And from that on until 1906 as a cargo ship and tug in the lagoon and on the river Oder
The ship was built in 1859 at the AG Vulcan Stettin with the hull number 19 for the shipping company JF Braeunlich in Stettin (today Szczecin). It was 38.65 m long and 5.06 m wide (about 14 m above the wheel arches) had 2:34 m depth and was measured with 108 GRT. A twin-piston steam engine, fed by a boiler firebox, made 50 hp and drove the two paddle wheels. The crew counted seven men. In 1880 the ship was modernized and then re-measured with 112 GRT 77 NRT.
The Misdroy was the third ship of the young shipping company, after the Dievenow put in service in 1852 and the Princess Royal Victoria put in service in 1857, and was used between Stettin and Swinemünde and the coastal resorts on the Pomeranian islands.
In 1900 she was sold to the Stettin shipping company W. Kunstmann, and then was used as freighter and tug primarily in the transport of Swedish iron ore from Stettin on the Oder. In 1906 Misdroy was classified as a barge and then in the same year broken up.
