Historical Note
CAPITAL CITY was a stern-wheeler riverboat built in 1910 and owned by the California Transportation Co., and was used as a passenger riverboat between Sacramento and San Francisco. Her sister ship was FORT SUTTER. Both the CAPITAL CITY and FORT SUTTER were in service until June 1927, when they were replaced by the DELTA KING and DELTA QUEEN. CAPITAL CITY was ultimately re-named PORT OF STOCKTON and was sold to the U.S. government in 1942.
